  • Abstract
    The superconductive properties of a series of Fe-substituted Y1Ba2(Cu1-xFex)3O z materials, with x=0 to 10 at.%Fe, have been studied. It was found that the Tc decreased linearly with Fe content x at the rate of 6.7 K/at.%. The intragranular critical-current density Jc decreased exponentially both with reduced temperature, T/Tc, and Fe concentration. Since the addition of Fe strongly drives the structure toward tetragonality, it is concluded that neither copper-oxygen chains nor macroscopic twinning is essential for high-temperature superconductivity
