摘要
The microstructures and superconducting properties of melt textured(Y_(1-x)Gd_x)BCO bulk samples were studied. It was found that the peritectic decomposition temperature(T_m)of(Y_(1-x)Gd_x)BCO samples increases with increasing x. Large single domain growth in air is readily obtained in all the composites. The results of X-ray distribution maps of x=0.4 composite indicate that the RE123 matrix is homogeneous and Y and Gd elements in the RE site forms a perfect solid solution. The onset T_c values exceeding 91 K with relatively broad transitions are obtained for almost all the samples. Magnetization measurements show no marked indication for the formation of a peak effect in the J_c-B curves, and the highest J_c measured is 3.08×10~4 A·cm^(-2) for x=0.4 sample at 77 K and self-field. The results clearly indicate that Y dominates the superconducting properties of x=0.2 and (0.4) composites.
