English abstract:
YBCO bulk single-grain samples with the nominal composition Y1.5Ba2(Cu1-xAlx)3Oy
were fabricated by the Top - Seeded Melt - Growth process. Aluminium was found to be a suitable
chemical dopant in Y1Ba2(Cu1-xAlx)3O7/Y2BaCuO5 bulk superconductors, which introduces
effective nanosized pinning centres. An increase of the critical current density, Jc, and the
appearance of a peak effect were observed at intermediate magnetic fields below the critical
temperature, Tc. A significant increase of the critical current density was observed in Al doped
samples after high pressure oxygenation (16 MPa oxygen pressure) at 750 °C, i.e. by a factor of 3
compared to samples subjected to standard oxygenation at 400 °C at ambient oxygen pressure.
