Description

Superconducting phases in the BSCCO and Pb-BSCCO systems have been produced by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) gel-derived route using nitrates of metal salts. Thermal decomposition and formation of various phases of gel and calcined powder of both BSCCO and Pb-BSCCO have been investigated by thermoanalytical and XRD techniques. It has been observed that Pb-containing system shows large volume of high T/sub c/ phase as compared to Pb-free system at the same sintering temperature. Thermal behavior (TG) indicates that sample doped with Pb decomposed in a series of steps while Pb-free sample, in a single step. The effect of Pb is shown to lower the sintering temperature (845 degree C) of formation of high T/sub c/ phase (2223). However, in the Pb-free sample the high T/sub c/ phase produced at higher temperature (860 degree C). (author)
