The effect of TIO2 addition on mechanical strength of BI-2223 superconductor

Titanium oxide (TiO2) compounds have very high melting point with lower heat capacity, is an excellent candidate for reinforcement of brittle materials such as ceramic superconductors. In this study, the effects of TiO2 addition on Bi-2223 superconductor were studied. TiO2 added Bi-2223 superconduct...
