Abstract

The effect of postannealing on the structural and superconducting properties of Bi-2212 sintered ceramic samples prepared by the solid state reaction method has been investigated. Postannealing times were varied from 0 h to 192 h at 700 ∘C. Electrical resistivity studies showed that postannealed samples at 96 h have the lowest room temperature values while critical transition temperature does not change significantly. XRD data have shown that the Bi-2212 phase content does not change noticeably, independently of the postannealing length. In addition, J c values, calculated from the hysteresis loops using the Bean’s model, increased with increasing the postannealing time until 48 h and decrease for longer ones.
