Abstract

A novel method to increase the amount of the 110 K phase in the Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O system was examined. After the sample with composition of Bi2Sr2CaCu2Ox had been calcined, it was soaked in ethanol containing copper acetate and calcium acetate, the amounts of which were determined to give the composition of Bi2Sr2Ca2Cu3Oy after sintering. Subsequently, annealing at about 400 °C was conducted to examine the stability of the 110 K phase. The sample containing mainly the 80 K phase and a small amount of the 110 K phase showed an increase in the amount of the 110 K phase while that containing only the 80 K phase showed no change. Therefore, it is presumed that the 110 K phase may grow when the excess calcium and copper coexist adjacent to the 80 K phase at relatively low temperatures such as 400 °C.
