Abstract
Unlike Y-Ba-Cu-O, the Nd-Ba-Cu-O system forms a Nd1+xBa2-xCu3O7-δ-type solid solution (Nd123ss). An understanding of PO2 and temperature dependence of the solubility limit will be the key to obtaining high Tc and Jc Nd123ss materials. Therefore, we carefully studied the solubility limit of Nd123ss as a function of PO2 and temperature. Through X-ray diffraction and differential thermal analysis measurements, we have found that Ba can substitute for Nd site under low PO2 at high temperatures. Furthermore, DC magnetization measurements showed that the superconducting transition temperature of Ba-rich Nd123ss (x<0) is higher than that of Nd rich Nd123ss (x≥0).
