Abstract

The role of bismuth substitution on the phase development and melting behavior of Tl_1.1-xBi_xBa_0.4Sr_1.6Ca ₂Cu₃O_9-δ was studied. The substitution limit was x=0.25, and a low-melting liquid was formed when the limit was exceeded. The barium content of the superconductor decreased with increasing bismuth substitution, which coincided with BaBiO₃ formation. Magnetization and X-ray diffraction data revealed that the single-layer Tl compound coexists with BaBiO₃ up to x=0.8. For selected compositions, superconductor wire was fabricated by a powder-in-tube process. The critical current density was measured and correlated with the microstructure.
