Abstract

A diffusion model is proposed to fit the measured chemical-transformation rates of the Bi(Pb)CaCuSrO 80-K phase to 110-K phase. Diffusion coefficients and activation energies in PO2 = 0.08 and 0.21 atm are reported. The low diffusion rates and high activation energies suggest cation diffusion controls the transformation.
