The Effect of the precursor powder composition for Bi-system superconducting thick films on Cu tapes

동테이프 위의 Bi-계 초전도 후막에서 전구체분말 조성의 영향

A well oriented Bi2212 superconductor thick films were fabricated by screen printing with a Cu-free Bi-Sr-Ca-O mixture powder on a copper plate and heat-treating at 820-88$0^{\circ}C$ for several minute in air. During the heat-treatment, the printing layer partially melted by reaction between the Cu-free precursor and CuO of the oxidizing copper plate. In the partial melting state, it is believed that the solid phase is Bi-free phase and Cu-rich phase and the composition of the liquid is around Bi : Sr : Ca : Cu = 2 : 2 : 0 : 1. Following the partial melting, the Bi2212 superconducting phase is formed at Bi-free phase/liquid interface by nucleation and grows. With decreasing the Bi composition in the precursor powder, the critical temperature(T$_{c}$) of the fabricated Bi2212 thick film increased to about 79 K.K.
