Vm. Ishchuk et al., A NEW APPROACH TO THE MANUFACTURE OF TEXTURED BI-CONTAINING HTSC COATINGS, Superconductor science and technology, 6(6), 1993, pp. 437-442
Bi-containing HTSC coatings 2201 and 2212 on silver substrates and wir
es have been obtained using solution techniques. Grain structure has b
een found to be plate-like or needle-like according to thermal conditi
ons. Needle-like grains have been shown to be textured along the wire
axis. The coatings formed replicate the texture of precursor phases.
