Description

Flux pinning and weak link structure were studied on the effect of Ca doping in LnBa2Cu3O7-y systems (Ln = La and Y). The magnitude and the magnetic field dependence of the critical current density were improved by Ca doping. A small amount of impurity phase of such as Ca2Cu1O3 may work as a desirable flux pinning center. Moreover, it was found that the current-temperature characteristics for Ca-doped samples showed the evidence of two kinds of superconducting phases which have different transition temperature Tc and Tc'. The experimental result agrees well with the Ambegaokar--Baratoff theory for asymmetric Josephson junctions (S-I-S') in the temperature range of T < Tc' and with the proximity junction theory (S-N-S) in the range of Tc' < T < Tc
