Abstract
Detailed measurement of electrical resistivity and V-I curves as a function of temperature and magnetic field up to 9 T were performed on several superconducting Bi/sub 2/Sr/sub 2/CaCu/sub 2/O/sub 8+/spl delta// (Bi-2212) bicrystals with synthetic high angle [001] twist grain boundaries. We found that the resistive onset temperature and field (at level of 10 nV) for all of the measured high angle twist boundaries were similar to those for their constituent single crystals. Furthermore, these boundaries were able to carry critical current as high as the single crystals. Our results suggested absence of weak-link behavior in the high angle [001] twist grain boundaries of Bi-2212 bicrystals.
