Abstract

The microstructure, phase composition, and superconducting properties of Bi-2223 ceramics doped with 0.05–0.5 wt % TaC were investigated. The materials were heat-treated at 840°C in three steps (10 + 24 + 24 h). By optimizing the TaC content and heat-treatment conditions, the 77-K critical current density of the Bi-2223 ceramics in zero field was raised by a factor of 2.
