S. Sivasankaran et al., PHASE-STABILITY STUDIES OF BI-2212 SUPERCONDUCTOR USING THERMAL-ANALYSIS SYSTEMS, Transactions of the Indian Institute of Metals, 48(3), 1995, pp. 225-227
Oxygen desorption from different crystallographic sites of Bi-2212 sup
erconductor, affects the phase stability of the compound. In this work
, we try to investigate the relation between doping in Cu-site and the
phase stability in Bi-2212 superconducting compound. The samples with
nominal composition Bi:Sr:Ca:Cu:M = 2:2:1:1.95:0.02 (M=Ni,Fe,Zn) were
prepared by mixing, calcining, grinding, pelletising, and finally sin
tered at 850 degrees C. The samples were characterised by T-c, XRD, TG
A & DSC and the results are reported.
