Abstract
Single crystals of 2223 phase have been prepared by flux growth method from KCl. Their crystal structure is tetragonal (I4/mmm), a=3.82 Angs trom, c=37.06 Angstrom. Chemical composition of crystals as determined by EDAX was Bi2.00Pb0.27Sr1.62Ca1.92Cu3.18O10+delta. Microhardness me asurements with Knoop indenter carried out on (001) pinacoid face show polar hardness anisotropy of between 0.9 and 1.33 GPa.
