Abstract

In this research, the influence of titanium dioxide nanoparticles on the structural and magnetic properties of high-temperature superconductor Bi1.6Pb0.4Sr2Ca2Cu3O10+θ (Bi-2223) from the Bi-based ceramic system  (BSCCO) was studied. In order to investigate the synthesized samples, X-ray diffractometry and magnetic measurements were performed. Based on the magnetic measurements, the superconductivity transition temperature declined with the increase in the nanoparticles' content. The addition of nanoparticles affected on the hysteresis loop width. Accordingly, the compound containing 0.2 wt.% nanoparticles had the maximum magnetization,  hysteresis loop width, and critical current density.
