Abstract

Pure and Pb-doped (Pb=0.3) Bi₂Sr₂Ca₂Cu₃O_10+x (Bi-2223) thick films (~5-30 μm) were electrophoretically deposited on high purity silver foil using ethanol as the suspending liquid. The deposition was done at applied voltage of 400 V/cm and current of ~0.02 mA/cm² for a period of 10 minutes. Short sintering time of 1 hour at 820°C was performed to reduce film porosity and allow vacancy diffusion of the deposited grains. X-ray diffraction and surface image analysis of the film shows c-axis orientation and excellent grain alignment, respectively. These results indicate texturing of the deposited films.
