Abstract

In this work, YBa2‑xCsxCu3O7‑δ (x= 0.05, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 wt. %) samples were prepared by using solid state reaction method. Some electrical, physical and structural properties of these compounds were examined by using SEM (scanning electron microscopy), XRD (X-ray diffraction), electrical resistivity, critical current density and AC susceptibility measurements, respectively. On the basis of the SEM measurements, it would seem that increasing the amount of Cs doping, the porous structures decrease and the grain size increases up to approximately 50 μm. Unit cell parameters were calculated by employing XRD measurements. On the basis of the data obtained from X-ray diffraction, Cs atoms displaced Ba atoms in the crystal structure. From the measurements of electrical resistivity at 80 K-120 K temperature, it was determined that the highest transition temperature was 91.5 K after addition of 0.05 wt. % Cs. The critical transition temperature was decreased by increasing the amount of Cs doping. Critical current density measurements on the same samples showed that as the amount of Cs doping increases, the values of Jc decrease. AC magnetic susceptibility measurements showed a sharper transition to the superconducting state in YBa2‑xCsxCu3O7‑δ (x= 0.05, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 wt.%) samples with the increase in the additive amount.
