Abstract

Ag-doping was found to enhance the critical current density of the ceramic superconductors by as much as a factor of 15. This Jc enhancement is due to both the increased amount of the superconducting phase and the resulting preferred crystal orientation. The optimum level of dopant may vary according to the chemical forms of Ag dopants.
