Abstract
For the nominal composition of Bi2.27−xPbxSr2Ca2Cu3O10+d, the lead content was varied from x < 0.05 to 0.45. The compositions were examined between 800 and 890‡C which is supposed to be the temperatue range over which the so-called 2223 phase (Bi2Sr2Ca2Cu3O10+d) is stable. Only compositions between x < 0.18 to 0.36 could be synthezised in a single phase state. For x <0.36, a lead-containing phase with a stoichiometry of Pb4(Sr,Ca)5CuOd with a small solubiliy of Bi is formed, for x > 0.18 mainly Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+d and cuprates are the equilibrium phases. The temperature range for the 2223 phase was found to be 800 to 890‡C but the 2223 phase has extremely varying cation ratios over this temperaure range. Former single phase 2223 samples turn to multiphase samples when annealed at slightly higher or lower temperaures. A decrease in the Pb solubility with increasing as well as decreasing temperature with a maximum at about 850‡C was found for the 2223 phase.
