On the phase decomposition of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8
One of the ways to increase pinning force in superconductors is to create small precipitates of secondary phases in the bulk matrix. The samples of superconductor Bi2.18Sr3-xCaxCu2O8 with different compositions have been decomposed according to the phase diagram of the BiO1.5-SrO-CaO-CuO system. The study showed that microstructure of samples and critical parameters were changed.
