Bi/sub 4/Sr/sub 3/Ca/sub 3/Cu/sub 4/O/sub 16/ galss and superconducting glass ceramics

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. B: Condens. Matter; (United States)
Bi/sub 4/Sr/sub 3/Ca/sub 3/Cu/sub 4/O/sub 16/ 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 /sup 0/C, respectively. After the glass is heat treated at 800 /sup 0/C, a glass ceramic is formed. A comparison of the x-ray-diffraction pattern of the superconducting Bi/sub 4/Sr/sub 3/Ca/sub 3/Cu/sub 4/O/sub 16+//sub x/ ceramic to the Bi/sub 4/Sr/sub 3/Ca/sub 3/Cu/sub 4/O/sub 16/ 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.
