Abstract

Results are presented on efforts to prepare both the 80K, Bi2CaSr2Cu2Oz (2122), and 11 OK, (Bi,Pb)2Ca2Sr2Cu3Oz (2223), transition temperature bismuth superconducting species in either phase pure or nearly phase pure, powdered form using either equimolar NaCI-KCI or NaBiOz as molten fluxes. Data are presented on the effects of variation of the reaction temperature and duration, solvent content, relative CaO and CuO contents, and of post-synthesis anneals of the product materials.
