Abstract

Pure and lead doped BiCaSrCuO (2223) compounds have been prepared by solid state reaction at 850°C. In undoped sample the T_c (zero) has been observed at 79K where as in Bi_1.75Pb_0.25Ca₂Sr₂Cu₃O_y T_c was obtained at 107K. Increasing the reaction time and rapidly quenching the samples by immersing them in liquid nitrogen, resulted in decrease of T_c. In rapidly quenched samples stepped resistive transitions have been observed. Aging at room temperature over long periods (~Two years) also showed a decrease in T_c and growth of low T_c (2122) phase. Heat treatment and oxygen annealing recovered the high T_c (2223) phase. The growth of low T_c (2122) and high T_c (2223) phase and their inter relationship have been explained.
