Abstract
The Freeze-drying technique is employed in this study to prepare Bi(Pb )-Sr-Ca-Cu-O(F) superconducting materials. Reactions which occur durin g the sintering process and the implication of the fluorination for hi gh-T(C) superconductivity are investigated. Results of X-ray, REM, EPM A, EDX, and chemical analysis suggest that a small quantity of fluorin e atoms is incorporated into the lattice of the 2223 phase. A ''grain size effect'' and probably the incorporation of fluoride into the latt ice are responsible for improved superconducting properties of the flu orinated materials.
