Critical current density of (Bi1.6Pb0.4)Sr2Ca2Cu3O10 superconductor irradiated with neutron in in-core facilities: rotary rack and dry tube at PUSPATI TRIGA Research Reactor

The effects of neutron irradiation in dry tube (DT) and rotary rack (RR) facilities at PUSPATI TRIGA Reactor on the superconducting properties of (Bi1.6Pb0.4)Sr2Ca2Cu3O10 (Bi-2223) are reported. The samples were prepared via the co-precipitation method and exposed to neutron irradiation in both faci...
