Variation of Composition in a Bi(Pb)-Sr-Ca-Cu-O Grain and the Influence of Mg and Ba Doping on Its Superconductivity

Abstract
The 110 K phase (2223) and (Sr, Ca)-Cu-O phase exist in the Bi(Pb)-Sr-Ca-Cu-O ceramics. The Cu content varies in the perpendicular direction of platelike 2223 grains, but little variation is observed on the planer surface of the grains along their length. Only the 110 K phase was found in the X-ray diffraction pattern of Bi(Pb)-Sr(Ba, Mg)-Ca-Cu-O. Its electrical resistivity became zero at 110 K. By the partial substitution of Mg and Ba for Sr, the range of sintering temperatures in which we obtained a higher T c zero was much larger than that for Bi(Pb)-Sr-Ca-Cu-O.
