Bi:232; [Bi-Ca(Gd)-Cu-O]
Material Specification for Bi:232; [Bi-Ca(Pr)-Cu-O] Process: Solid State Reaction
Notes: "The... samples were prepared by solid-state reaction. Stoichiometric amounts of Bi2O3, CaCO3, Pr6O11, R2O3 (R=Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd) and CuO powders with purity better than 99.99% were mixed and ground with mortar and pestle, and calcined at 800 °C in air for 24 h. The calcined powders were ground very well and pressed into pellets before sintering in air at 820-850 °C for 48 h... several grindings were performed during the sintering process. The resulting pellets were finally sintered in flowing oxygen at about 780 °C for 20 h, followed by a slow cooling to room temperature."
