Crystalline phases during the melting of Bi sub 2 Sr sub 2 CaCu sub 2 O sub x

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5124948
The melting of Bi{sub 2}Sr{sub 2}CaCu{sub 2}O{sub x} material has been studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) in order to study the phases that formed in the high temperature regions. Two distinct phases of (Sr{sub 1-x}Ca{sub x})CuO{sub 2} and (Sr{sub 1-x}Ca{sub x}){sub 2}CuO{sub 3} have been observed in the Bi-rich matrix depending upon quenching temperatures. Crystallization from the melt by fast cooling usually produce the co-existence of Bi (2201) and these Sr-Ca-Cu-O phases. 12 refs., 2 figs.
