Better metal electrode can be obtained by heat treatment which causes deeper diffusion of metal particles into the (Pb, Bi)SrCaCuO superconductor to improve contacts between metal electrodes and the sample. However, high-T
c phase of the specimen was destroyed at 700°C and the sample showed semiconducting behaviour. Low room temperature contact resistivity was obtained about 3.21×10-4 (Ω-cm2) and 2.34×10-6 (Ω-cm2) at 77 K for a sample with evaporating silver electrodes and annealed at 600°C for 2 hours. Non-ohmic contacts are observed for the indium and aluminum terminals.
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.
