Abstract
New high-Tc oxide compounds, whose superconducting transition Tc's exceed 100K, were discovered in Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O (BSCCO) and Tl-Ba-Ca-Cu-O (TBCCO) systems. The stoichiometric composition of the high-Tc phase was found to be Bi2Sr2Ca2Cu3Ox and Tl2Ba2Ca2Cu3Ox. Upper critical field Hc2's of these compounds were evaluated for bulk sintered specimens. The Hc2 (T=0K) defined at the midpoint of the resistive transitions are 160T and 220T for BSCCO and TBCCO high-Tc phases, respectively. High values of critical current density Jc at 77K have been already attained for sputtered BSCCO and TBCCO, while the Jc of the bulk specimens still remain less than 104A/cm2 at 77K and 0T. The parameters restricted the Jc in the bulk polycrystalline materials are considered to be (1) anisotropy in Hc2 and Jc, (2) weak link between grains, (3) weak pinning force, and (4) flux creep. The effect of each parameters is discussed with the experimental results of Jc and magnetic measurements.
