Abstract

The results of measurements of the transport properties of high‐Tc superconductors containing different amounts of silver are reported. The Tc and Jc values were found to be similar to that of the single phase YBaCuO compound whereas the electrical and thermal conductivities above Tc were drastically increased. A very low contact resistance was observed.
