Y2O3 buffer layer was placed to bottom of the pellets consist of Y123: Y211 powder mixtures. Two samples were fabricated in stoichiometric ratios of 1:0 and 1:0.4 labeled as Y0 and Y40, respectively. The T-c onset values of Y0 and Y40 were found to be 93.4 and 93.6 K at 0 T, respectively. The dependence of the effective activation energy U of the flux pinning on the magnetic field and temperature of the sample were determined using the Arrhenius activation energy law from the resistivity curves. The magnetization measurements were performed using a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) at 30, 50 and 77 K. The critical current densities (J(c)) for Y0 and Y40 samples were determined to be 5.1x10(3) and 3.7x10(3) A/cm(2) at 77 K in 0 T, respectively. The normalized pinning force density versus the reduced field was examined at different temperatures to determine the pinning mechanism.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessConference Object10.1088/1742-6596/707/1/012034N/AN/A
