Description

The Freeze-drying technique is employed in this study to prepare Bi(Pb)-Sr-Ca-Cu-O(F) superconducting materials. Reactions which occur during the sintering process and the implication of the fluorination for high-Tc superconductivity are investigated. Results of X-ray, REM, EPMA, EDX, and chemical analysis suggest that a small quantity of fluorine atoms is incorporated into the lattice of the 2223 phase. A 'grain size effect' and probably the incorporation of fluoride into the lattice are responsible for improved superconducting properties of the fluorinated materials.
