Introduction
High-temperature superconductors have been a topic of great interest in the scientific community due to their potential applications in various fields such as energy transmission, magnetic resonance imaging, and quantum computing. The discovery of high-temperature superconductors, which can operate at temperatures above the boiling point of liquid nitrogen, has opened up new possibilities for practical applications of superconductivity. However, the synthesis and characterization of high-temperature superconductors remain a challenging task due to the complex nature of these materials.
This thesis aims to investigate the synthesis and characterization of high-temperature superconductors, with a focus on understanding the underlying mechanisms that govern their superconducting properties. The research will involve the synthesis of high-temperature superconductors using different techniques, such as solid-state reaction, sol-gel method, and chemical vapor deposition. Various characterization techniques, including X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometry, will be employed to study the structural and superconducting properties of the materials.
