Critical current density of filamentary Nd123 superconductor by solution spinning method

We have studied the fabrication of filamentary Nd123 superconductor with high superconducting properties. The filamentary Nd123 precursor was prepared by the solution spinning method, through a homogeneous aqueous solution containing mixed acetates of Nd, Be, Cu, poly (vinyl alcohol) and organic acids. The filamentary sample was partially melted at 990/spl deg/C in flowing 0.1%O/sub 2/+Ar and oxygenated under various conditions. The transport critical current density (J/sub c/) for the samples was examined in magnetic fields up to 9.5 T at 77 K. The highest J/sub c/ value of 3.5/spl times/10/sup 4/ A/cm/sup 2/ at 77 K and 0 T and more than 10/sup 4/ A/cm/sup 2/ at 77 K and at 2 T was achieved for the filamentary Nd/sub 1.18/Ba/sub 2.12/Cu/sub 3.09/O/sub x/ superconductor by controlling the oxygenation conditions.
