Abstract
The authors have concentrated on the effect of Pb on the superconducting properties of the Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O system. Preliminary results are also presented on the effect of varying the Sr:Ca and Bi:Ca ratios in Pb-substituted samples. It is shown that the addition of Pb does not guarantee a step-free resistive transition. The steps in the resistivity become more pronounced as the Bi:Ca ratio is increased. This gradual, systematic change suggests that the reduced continuity is not the result of an abrupt reduction in the c-spacing near grain boundaries as observed in Pb-free samples.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
