Description

Bi4Sr3Ca3Cu4O16 glass has been successfully fabricated by the melting process. Glass transition temperature, crystallization temperature, and liquid temperature of the glass are 434, 478, and 833 0C, respectively. After the glass is heat treated at 800 0C, a glass ceramic is formed. A comparison of the x-ray-diffraction pattern of the superconducting Bi4Sr3Ca3Cu4O/sub 16+//sub x/ ceramic to the Bi4Sr3Ca3Cu4O16 glass ceramic revealed preferred orientation in the glass ceramic crystals. The superconducting transition temperatures T/sub c//sub (onset)/ and T/sub c//sub (zero)/ of the glass ceramics are 100 and 45 K, respectively
