Abstract

The smart meta-superconductor MgB2 and Bi(Pb)SrCaCuO increase the superconducting transition temperature (TC), but the changes in the transport critical current density (JC) and Meissner effect are still unknown. Here, we investigated the JC and Meissner effect of smart meta-superconductor MgB2 and Bi(Pb)SrCaCuO. The use of the standard four-probe method shows that Y2O3:Eu3+ and Y2O3:Eu3++Ag inhomogeneous phase significantly increase the JC, and JC decreases to a minimum value at a higher temperature. The Meissner effect was measured by direct current magnetization. The doping of Y2O3:Eu3+ and Y2O3:Eu3++Ag luminescent inhomogeneous phase causes a Meissner effect of MgB2 and Bi(Pb)SrCaCuO at a higher temperature, while the non-luminescent dopant reduces the temperature at which samples have Meissner effect. The introduction of luminescent inhomogeneous phase in conventional MgB2 and copper oxide high-temperature Bi(Pb)SrCaCuO superconductor increases the TC and JC, and Meissner effect is exerted at higher temperature. Therefore, smart meta-superconductivity is suitable for conventional and copper oxide high-temperature superconductors.
