Abstract

(Bi, Pb)-Sr-Ca-Cu-O ‘2223’ wires with varying Bi/Pb ratios and sinter times have been investigated by parallel physical measurements and analytical electron microscopy. The numbers of phases present, their relative amounts, compositions and structures are reported and correlated with the superconducting properties. In particular, the recently reported long period (010) modulation (2b*/q*=7.7) is found to be connected with the “2223” high Tc phase.
