Abstract

(Bi,Pb)2.2Sr2Ca2.2Cu3-xCrx Oy silver sheathed tapes with x = 0.0 (un-doped), 0.0005, 0.001, 0.002 and 0.004 (Cr-doped) have been investigated. X-ray diffraction analyses and transmission electron microscopy observation manifest that partial Cr substitution for Cu may introduce a lot of fine Cr-ion defects into the samples. The different performances of critical current densities (at 77 K) under applied magnetic fields, the irreversibility lines and activation energies of flux motion indicate that their flux pinning has been enhanced by induced Cr-ion defects obviously. Their pinning forces have also been analyzed, and the results imply that the flux pinning in Cr-doped tapes enhanced mainly originate from the fine normal-like Cr-ion defects.
