    Experimental and theoretical approaches on mechanical evaluation of Y123 system by Lu addition
    (Springer, 2013) Turkoz, M. B.; Nezir, S.; Ozturk, O.; Asikuzun, E.; Yildirim, G.; Terzioglu, C.; Varilci, A.
    This work is the continuation of a systematic study on the characterization of the Lu-added Y123 bulk superconducting materials prepared by the nitrate compounds and derivatives at 970 degrees C for 20 h. In this part, the effect of Lu inclusions on the physical and mechanical properties of the Y123 superconductors is examined with the aid of microhardness measurements performed at various applied loads in the range of 0.245-2.940 N. The microhardness measurement results allow us to determine the important mechanical characteristics such as Vickers microhardness, elastic (Young's) modulus, yield strength and fracture toughness values being responsible for the potential industrial applications. It is found that all the properties given above are strongly dependent upon the Lu concentration in the Y123 matrix. Especially, Vickers microhardness (H-nu) values of the samples studied in this work are found to suppressed considerably with the enhancement of the Lu addition in the system due to the degradation in the connectivity between superconducting grains. Moreover, the H-nu values of the pure Y123 sample are observed to increase with increasing the applied load whereas those of the Lu-doped superconducting materials are obtained to decrease with the load. In other words, the pure sample exhibits the reverse indentation size effect (RISE) behavior while the others obey the indentation size effect (ISE) feature, confirming the degradation in the mechanical properties with the Lu inclusions in the Y123 matrix. In addition, the microhardness measurement results are estimated using the 5 different models such as Meyer's law, proportional sample resistance model, elastic/plastic deformation model, Hays-Kendall (HK) approach and indentation-induced cracking (IIC) model. According to the results obtained from the simulations, of the mechanical analysis models, the Hays-Kendall (HK) approach is determined as the most successful model for the description of the mechanical properties of the Lu-doped superconducting materials (exhibiting the ISE behavior) where both the both the reversible (elastic) and irreversible (plastic) deformations are produced. On the other hand, the IIC model is found to be superior to other approaches for the pure sample (presenting the RISE feature) where the irreversible deformation becomes more and more dominant compared to the reversible deformation.

    Improvement of the Nature of Indentation Size Effect of Bi-2212 Superconducting Matrix by Doped Nd Inclusion and Theoretical Modeling of New Matrix
    (Springer, 2014) Ozturk, O.; Asikuzun, E.; Kaya, S.; Yildirim, G.; Turkoz, M. B.; Kilic, A.
    Neodmium (Nd) inclusions at different stoichiometric ratios (x=0.0, 0.001 %, 0.005 %, 0.01 %, 0.05 %, 0.1 %) are doped in the Bi-2212 superconducting samples and the samples obtained are subjected to the sintering process at 840 C-a similar to constant temperature for 72 hours. The effect of Nd doping on the structural and mechanical properties of prepared samples is investigated by the standard characterization measurements. XRD and SEM measurements are performed to obtain information about surface morphology, phase ratios, lattice parameters and particle size. Moreover, Vickers microhardness (H (V) ) measurements are exerted to investigate the mechanical properties of the all samples in detail. It is found that all the properties given above retrogress with the increase of the Nd concentration in the Bi-2212 superconducting core. However, the ISE nature of the materials improves systematically. Additionally, the experimental results of microhardness measurements are analyzed using Meyer's law, PSR, MPSR, EPD models and HK approach. The results show that Hays-Kendall approach is determined as the most successful model.
