Comparative studies of pure YBa2Cu3O7-ẟ prepared by modified thermal decomposition method against thermal treatment method

High temperature superconductor Yttrium Barium Copper Oxide (YBCO) was successfully prepared by modified thermal decomposition and thermal treatment method. Both samples in that methods sintered at 980 °C and were investigate by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microsc...
