Abstract

Fibrous crystals containing the high-Tc phase (2223 phase) of the Bi(Pb)-Sr-Ca-Cu-O superconductor have been prepared by heating a glassy melt-quenched plate in a stream of oxygen gas. Each fiber is composed of several platelike single crystals which are stacked in a layered structure. The fibers show two stepdrops in resistance at 105K and 73K, and a zero-resistance state around 70K. From the results of SQUID measurements, the volume fraction of the high-T phase is found to be about 0.6%. The high-Tc phase is also detected with a microarea X-ray diffractometer, and it is stacked in the interlayer between the low-Tc platelike crystals. For the fibrous Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-Li-O crystals, the volume fraction of the high-Tc phase increases to 1.5% and a zero resistance state is achieved at 81K. The Jc value of the Li doped fiber is 30,000A/cm2 at 77K and 300,000A/cm2 at 66K in a zero magnetic field.
