Dalton Transactions, vol. 46, n.o 35, 2017, pp. 11698-703. https://doi.org/10.1039/C7DT01974B.10.1039/c7dt01974bhttps://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/101206YBCO samples with different microstructures were prepared after the thermal treatment of a precursor previously obtained by autocombustion. A drastic influence of the particle size on the magnetic behavior of the samples was observed. Thus, particles smaller than 110 nm do not exhibit superconducting pro-perties and for those ranging around 200 nm the diamagnetic signal characteristic of the superconduc-tivity at low temperature disappears in a large applied magnetic field. Particles larger than 300 nm do not exhibit the particle size effect. Accompanying such a phenomenon, an increase of the superconducting critical temperature is observed with the augmentation of the particle size, the lowest value being 18 K which corresponds to 110 nm particles.engjournal articlehttps://doi.org/10.1039/C7DT01974Bmetadata only access54Ciencias23 Química
