Sa. Loza et al., FORMATION AND PROPERTIES OF HIGH-T-C PHASE BI2SR2CACU2O8+DELTA PREPARED FROM VARIOUS BISMUTH OXIDE COMPOUNDS, Inorganic materials, 33(4), 1997, pp. 408-411
The effect of starting-mixture composition on the formation mechanism
and structure-sensitive properties of Bi2Sr2CaCU2O8+delta(2212) is inv
estigated. The use of strontium carbonate reduces the rate of 2212 for
mation. In reaction mixtures consisting of CuO and Bi2Sr2CaO6, the rat
e of 2212 formation rises sharply (more than 80% after firing at 845 d
egrees C for 5 h). Diamagnetic transition measurements are reported.
