X-Ray Characterization of Phase Equilibria of the Raveau and 2212 Phases in the Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-0 System
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 March 2019
Abstract
Phase equilibria of two superconductor phases, namely the 20K Raveau phase (Bi2.2-xSr1.8+xCuOz, currently referred to as the 11905 phase) and the 80K 2212 phase of the Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-0 system were investigated. The amount of Ca-substitution of the Raveau solid solution was determined and the solid solution region can be approximately described as Bi2.2+xSr1.8-X-Y CayCu1±x/2Ow (referred to as the Ca-Raveau phase or the 119x5, ‘ with 0<x<0.15, 0<y<0.5. To determine the melting equilibria of the 2212 phase, a procedure involving the use of a wicking technique to capture the melt was applied. X-ray powder diffraction (XPD) and quantitative energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS) were used to analyse the phases present in the residual and melt, respectively. The approximate primary crystallization field of the incongruently melting 2212 phase was illustrated.
