Fraction of the high T-c 2223 phase increases with addition of small amounts of Nb. AC susceptibility and transport measurements showed the optimum Nb concentration as x = 0.10. Nb additions above x = 0.20 decrease significantly the fraction of the high-T-c phase and degrade the superconducting properties.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessceramic BSCCOammonium nitrate melttransport propertiesConference Object929138+2-s2.0-36749034764N/AWOS:000250403600026N/A
