Abstract

The time and temperature dependence of Bi-2212 phase stability with Ca2CuO3 and CuO by solid state sintering at 810−860°C and at 10-100 hours was investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed an increase in Bi-2212 peak intensities at increasing sintering time and temperature. Surface examination confirmed an increasing trend in crystal size from 830−860°C for 100 sintering hours and from 10−100 hours at 855°C.
At 860°C, the presence of Ca2CuO3 and CuO prevented the disproportionation of Bi-2212. A small amount of Bi-2223 also formed. Resistance measurement observed transitions at 78 K and 110 K from a 'mixed' sample sintered at 860°C for 100 hours. This confirmed the presence of Bi-2212 and Bi-2223.
