ABSTRAK

Superkonduktor fasa (Tl0.5Pb0.5)Sr2Ca(Cu2-xCrx)O7-δ (Tl-1212) bagi x = 0 hingga 0.100 telah disediakan menggunakan kaedah tindak balas keadaan pepejal. Tujuan kajian ini ialah menentukan suhu optimum untuk pembentukan fasa Tl-1212 dengan komposisi ini.  Sampel telah disediakan dalam aliran gas oksigen dalam tiga suhu berlainan iaitu 850 °C dalam kerajang perak selama 5 jam dan 950 °C dan 1000 °C selama 4 min. Bahan telah diciri menggunakan kaedah pembelauan sinar-X untuk mengenal pasti fasa dan pengukuran rintangan elektrik (R) untuk menentukan suhu genting. Sampel yang dipanaskan pada 950 °C menunjukkan pecahan isi padu fasa Tl-1212 yang tertinggi (94% bagi x = 0). Sampel yang dipanaskan pada 1000 °C menunjukkan suhu genting yang tertinggi dengan x = 0.100 menunjukkan suhu genting mula, Tc mula tertinggi iaitu 102 K. Terbitan rintangan melawan suhu (T), dR/dT menunjukkan sampel yang dipanaskan pada 1000 °C (x = 0.015 - 0.100) mempunyai puncak yang hampir sama iaitu Tp1 = Tp2. Ini menunjukkan suhu kesuperkonduksian intrabutiran (Tp1) dan antara butiran (Tp2) berlaku adalah sama. Hasil kajian ini menunjukkan suhu pemanasan 950 °C adalah suhu optimum untuk pembentukan fasa Tl-1212 sementara 1000 °C adalah suhu optimum untuk mendapatkan suhu genting tertinggi.

ABSTRACT

The (Tl0.5Pb0.5)Sr2Ca(Cu2-xCrx)O7-δ (Tl-1212) phase with x = 0 to 0.100 was prepared using the solid state reaction method. The objective of this work was to determine the optimum temperature for the formation of the Tl-1212 phase with the above composition.  The samples were heated in oxygen flow with three different temperatures of 850 °C in silver foil for 5 h, and 950 °C and 1000 °C for 4 min. The materials were characterized using X-ray diffraction methods to identify phase and electrical resistance (R) measurements to the determine critical temperature. Samples heated at 950 °C showed the highest Tl-1212 phase volume fraction (94 % for x = 0). The samples heated at 1000 °C showed the highest critical temperature with x = 0.100 exhibited the highest onset critical temperature, Tc onset of 102 K.  The derivative of resistance with respect to temperature (T), dR/dT of the samples heated at 1000 °C (x = 0.015 - 0.100) showed almost the same peak temperature where Tp1 = Tp2. This indicated that superconductivity for intragrain (Tp1) and between grains (Tp2) occurred at the same temperature. These results showed that 950 °C was the optimum temperature for the formation of the Tl-1212 phase and heat treatment at 1000 °C showed the highest critical temperature.
