BSCCO (2223) phase superconductor, prepared by the traditional solid-s
tate reaction route, was densified by hot pressing, yielding high-dens
ity and textured-bulk materials. A correlation between processing para
meters and inter-, intra-granular properties of the sample was perform
ed through the evaluation of microstructural features and the study of
electrical resistivity and magnetization behaviour as a function of d
ifferent temperature and magnetic field.
