Processing-property relationships for high critical temperature ceramic superconductors in the bismuth-calcium-strontium-copper-oxygen system

This thesis reports research on high T$\sb{\rm c}$ Bi-Ca-Sr-Cu-O (BCSC) superconductors. The BCSC family of superconductors has three known superconducting phases: Bi$\sb2$Sr$\sb2$Cu$\sb1$O$\sb6$ (abbreviated as 2021, with a reported T$\sb{\rm c}$ of 22 K), Bi$\sb2$Ca$\sb1$Sr$\sb2$Cu$\sb2$O$\sb8$ (abbreviated as 2122, and a T$\sb{\rm c}$ near 80 K), and Bi$\sb2$Ca$\sb2$Sr$\sb2$Cu$\sb3$O$\sb{10}$ (abbreviated as 2223, and a T$\sb{\rm c}$ near 105 K).
