Abstract

In this parer, by means of adding nonsuperconductive phase sliver into YBCO matrix, the superconductivity of Melted Texture Growth (MTG) YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$\_$7-x/ was improved remarkably. In order to eliminate the crack inthe YBCO and the weak linkin the grain boundary, Ag contents from 2wt% to 18Wt% were doped in the YBCO It was found that J$\_$c/ of YBCO increase with the increasing Ag content till 14 wt% over 14wt% of Ag content, the Jc tends to stable . The grain size of YBCO became fine when Ag was added in the YBCO and X-ray diffraction showed that the YBCO crystal prepared by the above technique had (001) orientation and growing plane of YBCO was a-b plane. Using Bens medel, the J$\_$c/ was calculated and the best result was J$\_$c/ 76000A$\textrm{cm}^2$(77K, 100Gs).
