Abstract
The objective of this research is to investigate the impact of radiation exposure on mechanical and superconducting properties of Bi-2212 superconductor ceramics. In this research, the Bi-2212 samples were prepared by solid state reaction method. This method was frequently used for the preparations of BSCCO samples. Precursors oxide powders were pressed to pallets under hydrostatic pressure around 7 tons or 70 000 psi and then sintered at temperature of 850C for 24 hours. Preparations of the ceramics specimen will be fully conducted in UNITEN laboratory in which it can be located in BJ building. From this project, some results can be obtained such as the effect of radiation before and after irradiation on mechanical and superconducting properties.
