Abstract
The solidification of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ has been studied using high temperature x-ray diffraction in order to determine the relative amounts of Cu-free phase and alkaline earth cuprates that form during melting and freezing in a N2 atmosphere. On melting, three peaks associated with Bi2(Sr,Ca)4O7 are observed in the vicinity of 870°C and disappear at 890°C. Only (Ca,Sr)O is observed in equilibrium with the melt at 890°C. On freezing, this Bi2(Sr,Ca)4O7 grows out of the liquid at 830°C and then disappears again below 820°C. At 820°C, Bi2(Sr,Ca)3O6 begins to grow, and below 780°C, Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ begins to grow.
