Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 9Properties of Boron Doped Ti-Ba Superconductors(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2003) Kayed, TSThe effects of boron doping on the formation and properties of the Tl-based superconductors have been studied. Up to 10 wt.% boron has been added to the oxides having the nominal composition, Tl1.8Ba2Ca2.2Cu3Ox, by the usual solid-state reaction method. Boron additions in the range 0.8-1.0% increase the fraction of the Tl-2223 phase and significantly improve the critical temperature of the samples. Higher amounts of boron additions eliminate the Tl-2223 phase, reduce the fraction of Tl-2212 phase and cause separate non-superconducting phases to be formed. The formation of non-superconducting phases does not allow us to obtain pure Tl-2212 phase. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.

It was examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Single phase, belonging to the cubic pyrochlore structure, with a lattice parameter of a = 10.60125 +/- 0.001 Angstrom and grain size that varies from 5 to 10 mum was obtained. The electrical properties were measured at different temperatures in the range 15-320 K without and with applied magnetic field of 1.4 T. Current-voltage characteristics data were fitted to a power law expression V=I-beta(T) in which the exponential parameter beta takes values around 1 at all temperatures except at 300 K. Resistance starts from 3.3 x 10(10) Omega at 15 K and increases gradually to 4.8 x 10(10) Omega at 240 K. It drops to approximately 1.2 x 10(10) Omega at 300 K, after which it increases again to around 1.6 x 10(10) Omega at 320 K. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V.

An investigation of the electrical and optical properties of Mg2B2O5 system has been carried out. The electrical resistivity of the sample was measured in the temperature range of 170-400 K. The data analysis revealed an extrinsic nature of the conductivity with two impurity levels located at 0.13 and 0.71 eV in the temperature ranges of 170-230 K and 240-400 K, respectively. The optical transmission and reflection was recorded at 300 K in the incident photon energy range of 3.0-6.0 eV. The absorption coefficient data analysis revealed an indirect optical energy band gap of 4.73 eV. In addition, two impurity levels located at 3.43, and 4.49 eV were observed in the absorption spectra. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
