DOWNLOAD EBOOKGlassy Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O (BSCCO) precursors were prepared by different melt-quenching methods to investigate the melt properties of the BSCCO system before the crystallization investigations were started. In order to fabricate superconductors having high critical temperature and current density using the glass-ceramic route, it is necessary to clarify the total chemical composition of the quenched precursor. For the first time the total chemical composition of such precursors has been directly measured by the direct element analysis and correlated with the taken process steps. The results from the element analysis demonstrated significant chemical deviations in composition with respect to the starting composition and strong chemical inhomogeneities of the sample. The crystallization dependence was investigated on numerous parameters for the BSCCO system such as initial composition, atmosphere, Sr:Ca ratio, average valence state of the glassy precursor and the dependence of Bi substitution by Pb. It could be demonstrated that the copper valence dependence on the phase formation and crystallization of the high-TC phase plays an important role in the BSCCO system. It could also be demonstrated that the smallest chemical deviation could strongly influence the phase formation in dependence of melt temperature, influencing not only the average copper valence but also the different cation concentrations. From literature there are barely any results or conclusions drawn of the chemical composition of the quenched glassy precursors that however is critical to control the crystallization behavior and understanding the influences on the superconductive properties as demonstrated in this work.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHigh c oxide superconductors such as Bi(Pb)-Sr-Ca-Cu-O (BSCCO) and Y-Ba-Cu-O (YBCO) systems are usually fabricated by sintering given mixtures of raw materials. Generally, sintering processing takes a longer heating time and the products are mechanically low strength and cannot be formed into complex shapes such as a coil, a curved fine tube or a fine rod. Another way to produce the ceramics is a glass-ceramic process in which the glasses prepared by melt-quenching are reheated for crystallization. A given mixture of raw materials in BSCCO is easily melted and quenched to form a given shape of glass, while that in YBCO is not glassified.This invaluable book has been written by authors from five countries. It presents a unique way to fabricate superconducting ceramics in BSCCO by glass-ceramic processing.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA number of promising glass forming compositions of high Tc superconducting Ba-Sr-Ca-Cu-O (BSCCO) materials were evaluated for their glass-ceramic crystallization ability. The BSCCO ceramics belonging to the class of superconductors in the Ba-Sr-Ca-Cu-O system were the focus of this study. By first forming the superconducting material as a glass, subsequent devitrification into the crystalline (glass-ceramic) superconductor can be performed by thermal processing of the glass preform body. Glass formability and phase formation were determined by a variety of methods in another related study. This study focused on the nucleation and crystallization of the materials. Thermal analysis during rapid cooling aids in the evaluation of nucleation and crystallization behavior. Melt viscosity is used to predict glass formation ability. Ethridge, E. C. and Kaukler, W. F.
