Bi 2 Sr 2 Ca 2 Cu 3 O x (Bi-2223) were prepared using a solid state reaction method at different sintering times and temperatures. Structural phase identifications have been done using X-Ray analysis and refinement by Reitveld method which proves the coexistence of Bi-2223 and Bi-2212 phases. The critical transition temperature T c and critical current density J c values were measured using superconducting quantum interference device magnetometer (SQUID) and by the magneto-optics technique. A remarkable rapid decrease to the diamagnetic signal in the magnetization versus temperature M(T) at 110 K and J c around 1.2 Â 10 7 A/m 2 at 5 K are confirmed for the Bi-2223 compound.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
