| Summary: | In this study, we report the thermoelectric power (TEP) measurements of Cu0.5Tl0.5Ba2Ca2Cu3O10-δ added with BaSnO3 nanoparticles. BaSnO3 nanoparticles were prepared by chemical co-precipitation method, while (BaSnO3)x/(CuT1)-1223 superconducting samples with 0.00 ≤ x ≤ 1.50 wt% were prepared using the solid-state reaction method. The standard four-probe technique was applied to measure DC electrical resistivity in the temperature range from 300 to 77 K. Superconducting transition temperature (Tc) increases up to 117.5 for x = 0.25 wt.% and then it decreases with further x addition. The TEP coefficient was measured as a function of temperature in a wide temperature range from ∼77 K (liquid nitrogen temperature) up to 280 K using a standard differential technique. The behavior of the obtained TEP coefficient is suit with high-Tc copper-oxide superconductors. The results were investigated according to two-band model with an extra linear term. Several parameters such as the pseudo-gap temperature (T*), Fermi energy (EF) and Fermi temperature (TF) values were calculated and discussed in terms of nanoparticles BaSnO3 addition. |
