Popis: Flux pinning properties for Bi 1.7 Pb 0.4 Sr 1.9 Ca 1 Cu 2 O 8+ x crystals with and without MgO powder were studied. MgO particles having 100 nm average diameter coarsened to an average diameter of 1 μm in the Bi 1.7 Pb 0.4 Sr 1.9 Ca 1 Cu 2 O 8+ x crystals. Critical current densities for the MgO doped crystals increased in temperature region from 20 to 77 K. MgO 5 wt.% crystals have higher J c than that of MgO 1 wt.% crystals in temperature range from 20 to 70 K. Scaling behaviors for the MgO 5 wt.% crystals suggest that the MgO particles are the dominant pinning centers for the crystal in temperature range from 40 to 77 K. Irreversibility field for the MgO 5 wt.% crystals increases to almost the same value of the crystals with the Ag ion irradiated crystal.
