Abstract

We have fabricated superconducting composites composed of Y1Ba2Cu3O7–δ, copper oxide, and metallic silver. Sharp superconducting transitions were observed well above the liquid nitrogen temperature. The normal state resistivity of these composites was much lower than that of the pure ceramic Y1Ba2Cu3O7–δ. The critical current density was measured and it was comparable to that of ceramic superconductors. A substantial improvement of the mechanical properties has been achieved over those of the ceramic Y1Ba2Cu3O7–δ material.
