Özet

This comprehensive study attempts to find out the evaluation of magnetoresistivity performance and flux pinning centers in the Bi-2223 superconductor with nickel impurities and diffusion annealing temperature interval 650 degrees C-850 degrees C by means of magnetotransport measurements (0-5T). It is found that the cooper-pair probabilities as well as pinning of thermal fluxon motions of two-dimensional (2D) pancake vortices and interlayer Josephson coupling between the isolated grains considerably improve with the annealing temperature up to 700 degrees C as a result of enhancement in the effective flux pinning regions. However, from 700 degrees C onwards the potential energy barriers decrease significantly due to the increment of permanent structural problems in the crystal system. Namely, the presence of excess Ni impurities develops the recoupling linelike/discrete pancakelike nature. In this respect, the bulk sample exposed to the diffusion annealing temperature of 850 degrees C exhibits the worst magnetic performance characteristics. The flux lines in the material more easily jump to neighboring states due to the cooper pair-breaking mechanism, and thus the thermal fluxon motions of 2D pancake vortices lead to the energy dissipation. We also discuss the differentiation of vortex lattice elasticity for the materials with the aid of the theoretically calculated quantities such as the thermodynamic critical field (mu H-0(c)), irreversibility field (mu H-0(irr)), lower critical field (mu H-0(c1)), upper critical field (mu H-0(c2)), penetration depth (lambda), coherence length (xi) and Ginzburg Landau parameter (k). According to the computational values, the optimum annealing temperature of 700 degrees C strengthens the pinning of 2D pancake vortices, vortex lattice period and elasticity as a result of the decrease in the inter-plane interaction energy. To sum up, 700 degrees C favors the applications of bulk Ni surface-layered Bi-2223 compounds in rather higher magnetic fields for a major innovation. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
