Tl:1223; [Tl(Pb)-Sr-Ca-Cu-O]
Material Specification for Tl:1223; [Tl(Pb)-Sr-Ca-Cu-O] Process: Solid State Reaction
Notes: The authors cite M.A. Subramanian et al., Science, Vol. 242, 249 (1991), and summarize the procedure as follows." "Polycrystalline samples... were prepared by the usual solid-state reaction... Bar-shaped samples (1.5 mm x 2 mm x 10 mm) were cut from the synthesized pellets... In order to rule out the contribution of intergrain Jc, these samples were ground into fine powders and mixed into wax to ensure the separation of individual grains... The results of the magnetic measurements performed on both bulk and powdered samples show no significant difference."

Measurement Method: Vibrating sample magnetometer
"Magnetic-hysteresis measurements were performed with a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM3001, Oxford Instruments)... The intragrain critical-current density, Jc, has been estimated from the Bean critical-state model." No additional measurement details were noted.
