Abstract
High-Tc superconductor tapes with nominal compositions of Bi1.8Pb0.4Sr2Ca2.2Cu3O 10-x (Bi-2223) and (Tl,Cr0.15)Sr2(Ca0.9,Pr0.1)Cu2 O7-x (Tl-1212) were fabricated using the powder-in-tube method. The Tczero's of the tapes, which were subjected to various thermo-mechanical treatments, ranged from 100-103 K for the Bi-2223/Ag tapes and 84-86 K for the Tl-1212/Ag tapes. Their transport critical current densities in low magnetic fields (0.15 T) were compared. All the tapes are dominated by weak links where this is more severe in the Tl-1212/Ag tapes. No significant anisotropic transport properties were observed in Tl-1212/Ag tapes when the magnetic field was applied perpendicular or parallel to the tape plane (i.e. Jc(H⊥)/Jc(H∥) = 0.75-1.0). The Bi-2223/Ag tapes however show a pronounced anisotropic transport properties in applied magnetic field (i.e. Jc(H⊥)/Jc(H∥) = 0.15-0.65). This can be associated with the microstructural difference between these two types of tapes. Scanning electron micrographs reveal the slightly aligned grains in the Bi-based tapes while randomly orientated grains were observed in the Tl-based tapes.
