Abstract
The preparation of a nonrandom silver YBCO composite is presented. Transport and magnetic properties of these nonrandom metal superconductor composites (NRMSC) were measured. It is shown that these composites exhibit a transition to the superconducting state in transport measurements for sintering temperatures as low as 600 °C, and exhibit critical current values higher than the pure YBCO ceramic material. The new NRMSC materials exhibit hardness properties similar to those of ductile metals.
