Mixed state Hall effect in the multiphase superconductors

Abstract Hall effect below T c in multiphase superconductors has been studied on Bi-based superconductors. Samples with different relative content of 2212 and 2223 phase have been prepared. The phase content has been verified by X-ray diffraction. Results show that while resistance and ac susceptibility is almost insensitive to the content of 2212 phase, the qualitative behavior of the Hall resistance is strongly influenced by the presence of both phases. Theoretical calculation of Hall resistance has been made based on effective medium approximation and compared with experimental results.
