Abstract
Ba2GdNbO6 has been developed as a new substrate suitable for the BSCCO superconductor. Ba2GdNbO6 has a complex cubic perovskite (A2BB′O6) structure with a lattice constant a=8.587 Å. The DTA studies revealed that there is no phase transition occurring in Ba2GdNbO6 in the temperature range of 30–1300°C. The thermal expansion coefficient of Ba2GdNbO6 is found to be 7.913×10−6°C−1. The dielectric constant and loss factor of Ba2GdNbO6 are in a range suitable for its use as a substrate for microwave applications. The Bi(2223) superconductor does not show any detectable chemical reaction with Ba2GdNbO6 even under extreme processing conditions. The thick films of Bi(2223) dip-coated on polycrystalline Ba2GdNbO6 substrate gave a TC(0) of 109 K and a current density of approximately 4×103 A/cm2 at 77 K and zero magnetic field.
