Abstract
Abstract High-T c superconducting oxides are known for their highly anisotropic structures and low critical current densities in random polycrystalline samples although single crystals and oriented thin films with current flowing in the a-b plane have demonstrated much higher critical current density. In the case of BiSrCaCuoxide system, only the 2212 polytypoid has been successfully prepared in single crystal form. Thus we are motivated to pursue critical current measurements on single-phase 2212 and 2223 BSCCO samples with strong preferred orientations along the c-axis which was achieved through uniaxial compression. Both transport and DC magnetization critical current measurements have been performed on the samples. Magnetization measurements have been made over a field range of O–5T with the field applied parallel to the c-axis. Transport current was measured at 77K. The experimental data will be discussed.
