Abstract
Phase changes and superconducting properties of rapidly quenched BiSrCaCu2Ox ceramics have been studied. The rapidly quenched sample consists of an amorphous state which begins to crystallize around 510°C. The crystal system was found to be tetragonal with a=5.39Å and c=24.5Å. By annealing above 7OO°C, a tetragonal system with a=5.41Å and c=30.8Å was produced. The former crystal was a semiconductor and the latter was a superconductor with Tc=75K. A superconducting phase with Tc=105K was observed in a sample annealed at 840°C. The superconducting volume ratio in the samples had a maximum at 803–840°C. The decrease of the volume ratio at the higher temperatures is considered to result from a decomposition of the superconducting phase (75K) into a nonsuperconducting phase.
