Tg. Holesinger et al., RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN PROCESSING TEMPERATURE AND MICROSTRUCTURE IN ISOTHERMAL MELT-PROCESSED BI-2212 THICK-FILMS, IEEE transactions on applied superconductivity, 5(2), 1995, pp. 1939-1942
The microstructure ar 1 phase assemblage of isothermal meltprocessed (
IMP) Bi2Sr2CaCu2Oy (Bi-2212) thick films have been evaluated. Results
from compositional analysis and phase identification indicate that the
characteristics of the partial melt greatly influence the microstruct
ural and chemical development of the thick films. The highest critical
current densities were obtained in films processed below 800 degrees
C where the partial melt uniformly coats the substrate without excessi
ve phase segregation.
