Formation of superconducting Bi sub 2-y Pb sub y Sr sub 2 Ca sub 2 Cu sub 3 O sub x from coprecipitated oxalates

Journal Article · · Journal of Solid State Chemistry; (USA)
The conditions for the coprecipitation of Bi{sup 3+}, Pb{sup 2+}, Ca{sup 2+} as oxalates are reported. These oxalates were used as precursors for the formation of Bi{sub 2-y}Pb{sub y}Sr{sub 2}Ca{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub x} superconducting ceramics. The behavior of the oxalates upon heat treatment was studied by thermogravimetry. Both the oxalates and the superconducting oxides were analyzed and characterized by atomic absorption spectroscopy and by X-ray diffraction.
