Description

This paper discusses how Tconset of a sintered Bi2Sr2Ca2Cu3Ox superconductor increased from 85 to 93 K after a shock-compaction treatment. The shock synthesis of high-Tc superconductors from a mixture of metal oxides was also attempted A small amount of superconducting phase was successfully formed by shock synthesis for a Tl-Ba-Ca-Cu-O system. The Tconset of this material was about 75 K
