Abstract

Electrical characterizations of single isolated grain boundaries have been carried out in melt textured bulk Ag doped YBa₂Cu₃O_7-δ. Various measurements such as I-V characteristics and critical current as a function of applied field are reported for numerous single boundaries as well as ensembles of boundaries. Most of the single boundaries in Ag doped YBCO showed strong-link behavior in contrast to pure YBCO prepared by a similar method, which showed weak-link behavior. One possible explanation for strong-link behavior is the enhanced c-axis texture observed in the Ag doped samples.
