Abstract

Samples with the nominal composition, Ag-$Bi_{1.84}Pb_{0.34}Sr_{1.91}Ca_{2.03}Cu_{3.06}O_{10+{\delta}}$ high $T_{c}$ superconductors containing Ag as an additive were fabricated by a solid-state reaction method. Samples with Ag of 10 wt%, 30 wt%, and 50 wt% each were sintered at $860^{\circ}C$~$870^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours. The structural characteristics, the microstructures and the critical temperature with respect to the each samples were investigated by XRD, four-prove methode, SEM and EDS respectively. The $T_{c}\;^{zero}$ of the sample with the 50 wt% Ag additive at the surface showed 94 K.
