P. Majewski et al., FUNDAMENTALS OF THE PREPARATION OF HIGH-T-C SUPERCONDUCTING (BI,PB)(2+X)SR2CA2CU3O10+DELTA CERAMICS, Advanced materials, 8(9), 1996, pp. 762
For the 2223 phase of the BiPbSrCaCuO superconductor, detailed knowled
ge of the phase relations and the homogeneity region are essential to
the understanding of the fundamental issues influencing the processing
of the materials. A six-component system such as this would require a
six-dimensional phase diagram. Several ways to simplify the task to m
anageable dimensions, and the information one can obtain from a detail
ed investigation of this system are discussed.
