SmBa2NbO6 Nanopowders, an Effective Percolation Network Medium for YBCO Superconductors by S. Vidya, K. C. Mathai, P. P. Rejith, Sam Solomon, J. K. Thomas

“…The chemical nonreactivity of nano SmBa2NbO6 with YBCO is evident from the X-Ray diffraction study which makes it a suitable nanoceramic substrate material for high temperature superconducting films. A systematic increase in the sintered density, approaching the optimum value of the insulating nanophase is clearly observed, as the vol.% of YBCO in the composite decreases. …”
