Materials and Properties

Hg:121; [Hg-Ba-Cu-O]
Hg:121; [Hg(Pb)-Ba-Cu-O]
Material Specification for Hg:121; [Hg-Ba-Cu-O] Process: Solid State Reaction
Notes: The authors cite J.L. Wagner et al., Physica C, Vol. 210, 447 (1993), and summarize the procedure as follows. "Samples were synthesized from appropriate mixtures of HgO, PbO, and Ba2CuO3... The samples used for the magnetization measurements were cut from ceramic pellets and had the shape of rectangular bars (with dimensions of about 2x2x5 mm3)."

"The magnetization was measured in a commercial superconducting quantum interference device magnetometer in fields up to 7 T applied parallel to the long side of the bar... in a field of (0.1 mT = 1 G)... With increasing temperature, the hysteresis rapidly collapses, and the irreversibility line can be mapped by tracing the magnetic fields at which the hysteresis loops close."
