Structural and Superconducting Properties of Thermal Treatment-Synthesised Bulk YBa2Cu3O7−δ Superconductor: Effect of Addition of SnO2 Nanoparticles

YBa2Cu3O7−δ (Y-123) bulk superconductors with the addition of (0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1.0 wt.%) SnO2 nanoparticles were synthesised via a thermal treatment method. The influence of SnO2 addition on the superconducting properties by means of critical temperature, Tc, AC susc...
