Effect of sintering temperature on composition and critical temperature of Bi2Sr1.7Mn0.3CaCu2O8+δ
Abstract
We report the effects of sintering temperature on the Manganese (Mn) doped Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ by investigating the structural and electrical properties of the samples. X-ray diffraction shows no additional peak emerges other than the peaks presented on our previous paper. However changes in the electrical properties
with respect to the sintering temperature are seen at higher temperature. The resistivity vs. temperature plots shows an increase in the magnitude. And the transition width also increases with increasing temperature.
