β¦ Synopsis
The compounds GdBaSr 1Γx Nd x Cu 3 O y (where x = 0, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3) were prepared using the solid-state reaction technique. The single phase and microrange crystalline nature of the compounds were studied by powder X-ray diffraction and SEM analysis. The electrical resistivity and magnetic properties of the compounds were studied as a function of temperature. A decrease in superconducting transition temperature for an increase in Nd substitution was observed. A decreasing trend of diamagnetic strength and an increasing trend of magnetic moment of the samples with Nd substitution were observed from magnetization measurement. The optimal sintering temperature of the compounds was found to be 950 Β°C.
