摘要
(YHo)Ba2Cu3O7-y is prepared by the powder melting process and its properties are investigated. It is found that Ho addition can change the melting temperature of a Y-system superconductor. The Jcvalues of YBCO can be improved by Ho substitution, which is due to the effect of Ho addition on the number and quality of grain boundaries and the size and distribution of 211 particles. The highest Jcvalue was found to be 50,000 A/cm2 (77 K, 1T, H⊥I) in Y0.8Ho0.2Ba2Cu3O7-y. Our results indicate that the number and quality of grain boundaries have a great influence on the superconducting properties. A discussion is given on the relationship between Jcand the size and phase proportion of 211 particles. There are a lot of dense twins in the sample, and many crystal defects exist around the 211 phase.
