Abstract :
In this research work, we are presenting a study of the magnetic, electrical, and morphological properties of the Bi2Sr2Ca2(Cu1-xFex)3O10+? bulk superconductor. The hysteresis curve of the sample displays the magnetization of the applied magnetic field at ±15k (Oe), which exhibits paramagnetic behavior in the sample and reports a squareness ratio of 0.2. It is suggesting the presence of a single magnetic domain in the sample. We measured the electrical resistance by Four Prove method from room temperature to liquid nitrogen temperature range, which shows the metal and semiconducting transition, since the curve is linearly decreasing order nearly 200K temperature. After that, the resistance again slowly increases and shows semiconducting behavior. We studied morphology of the sample by FE-SEM, and collected structural data. These morphological representations show platelet type layered structures at the micron range in the sample. These results are quite similar to Bi-2223 ceramic superconductor.

Key-Words / Index Term :
