Abstract: | The (Bi0.8Pb0.2)4Sr3Ca3Cu4Ox glass, annealed under proper conditions, is transformed into a granular metal and superconductor. Oxide superconductors of the bismuth family crystallize as a result of annealing: (Bi,Pb)2Sr2CuOx (2201, Tc = 10 K), (Bi,Pb)2Sr2CaCu2Ox (2212, Tc = 85 K) and (Bi,Pb)2Sr2Ca2Cu3Ox (2223, Tc = 100 K). (Bi0.8Pb0.2)4Sr3Ca3Cu4Ox glass–ceramic samples were obtained by annealing an amorphous solid at temperatures between 650 °C and 870 °C. The temperature dependence of resistivity in annealed samples was measured with the conventional four-terminal method in the temperature range from 3 K to 300 K. The (Bi0.8Pb0.2)4Sr3Ca3Cu4Ox glass–ceramics may be considered as a disordered metal and superconductor. The material has high resistivity and a high, usually negative, temperature coefficient of resistivity (TCR). Its granular and disordered character is also reflected in its superconducting properties. The normal-state and superconducting properties are correlated. |
