Abstract
The platelet bulk specimen Bi2Sr2CaCu2O$_{\rm y}$ sandwiched between Ag disks was shocked to 5 GPa using shock loading method. The shocked specimen showed high orientation to c-axis and consolidation of high density of 95 %. Ag particles of about 10 nm were observed on the surface of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O$_{\rm y}$ specimen by TEM. The magnetization of zero field cooling strongly increased and Tc reached to 8 4 K from 74 K by the annealing at 650 $^{\circ}$C for 12 hs in N2 after shock loading. The $\Delta $M (the difference of FC and ZFC) was enhanced about 50 times than pristine specimen. The introduction of pinning site was discussed in connection with jetting effects of shock wave.
