Abstract

Electrical transport properties and percolation behavior of superconducting Bi2Sr2Ca2Cu3O10-DyBa2SnO5.5, a superconductor-insulator composite system, have been studied by x-ray diffraction and temperature-resistivity measurements. Normal-state and superconducting percolation threshold values are found to be ∼20 vol % of Bi(2223) in the composite. The values obtained for critical exponents describing the normal-state transport behavior of the system are matched with theoretically expected values for an idealized metal-insulator composite system. No detectable chemical reactivity was observed between Bi(2223) and the ceramic insulator DyBa2SnO5.5, even under severe heat treatment at 850 °C. The implications are discussed.
