Effect of Ba and Zn doping in Bi2Pb0.6Sr2Ca2Cu3Oδ superconductors using ac susceptibility measurements by Halim, S. A., Mohamed, S. B., Azhan, H., Khawaldeh, S.

“…The data of χ′ shows that coupling of the grains in Zn-doped samples are weaker than that of Ba-doped samples and hence it could be concluded that Zn-doped samples are dominated by the S-I-S type of weak links, whereas the Ba doped samples are dominated by the S-N-S weak links. …”
