Effect of nonmagnetic PbO nanoparticles addition on the microstructure and electrical transport properties of YBa2Cu3O7

Superconductors are materials that show zero resistance when subjected to temperature under its critical temperature. Yttrium Barium Copper Oxide (YBCO) was prepared using solid state reaction method by grinding, sintering and finally pressing the samples into pellets. The objective of the research...
