Flux pinning effect of embedded carbon nanotubes in Bi 2Sr 2CaCu 2O 8

The enhancement in the critical current density J c is one of the most important challenges in superconductivity. Since the discovery of high temperature superconductors like YBa 2Cu 3O 7−x, (1) and subsequently with the advent of BiSrCaCuO, (2) TlBaCuO, (3) and HgBaCuO (4) families, a great deal of...

Summary:The enhancement in the critical current density J c is one of the most important challenges in superconductivity. Since the discovery of high temperature superconductors like YBa 2Cu 3O 7−x, (1) and subsequently with the advent of BiSrCaCuO, (2) TlBaCuO, (3) and HgBaCuO (4) families, a great deal of research has been devoted to improve their transport properties and specially to enhance J c. In this work, we address a new technique developed in order to increase J c in a sample of BSCCO (2212) embedded in carbon nanotubes.
