Percolation and the Josephson effect in high- T c superconducting composites based on yttrium ceramics

Percolation processes and the magnetic susceptibility are investigated in composites based on yttrium high- T c superconductors (Y-HTSCs). The superconducting fraction in the composites is determined for different amounts of an added nonsuperconducting fraction. The limit of percolation conduction v...

Zusammenfassung:Percolation processes and the magnetic susceptibility are investigated in composites based on yttrium high- T c superconductors (Y-HTSCs). The superconducting fraction in the composites is determined for different amounts of an added nonsuperconducting fraction. The limit of percolation conduction via superconducting grains for a HTSC–insulator composite is ( 17 ± 2 ) % superconducting fraction by volume. The Josephson properties of composite superconductors near the percolation limit are investigated.
