Abstract Undoped and WO3-doped Y-Ba-Cu-O ceramics have been slowly cooled in flowing oxygen or quenched in air from 900℃ to room temperature, after sintering at 900℃ for 3Oh in flowing oxygen. The ac susceptibility measurements show that the Tc of the quenched WO3-doped Y-Ba-Gu-O superconductor can reach 88K, while the undoped Y-Ba-Cu-O ceramic quenched in air is a non-superconductor. X-ray diffraction data show that WO3 does not enter into the YBa2Cu3O7-x lattice but forms all impurity phase. The WO3-doped YBCO specimens quenched in air consist of orthorhombic YBa2Cu3O7-x phase and an impurity phase which increases with increasing WO3 content. Raman spectra chow that oxygen contents are different for undoped and WO3-doped samples. It la suggested that suitable doping with WO3 can change the oxygen content and reduce the effect of thermal treatments on the superconductivity of Y-Ba-Cu-O system.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
