The phase evolution and electrical properties of Tl-1223 tapes were explored near the incongruent melt temperature. Liquid phase evolution was monitored as a function of time and temperature by an acoustic velocity monitor. The phase development kinetics for Tl-based superconductors are more than one order of magnitude faster than the kinetics of Bi-based superconductors. Three separate powder mixtures (Tl
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.
