โฆ Synopsis
From considerations of the phase equilibrium diagram of the system BiaOa-PbO-SrO-CaO-CuO, different annealing procedures were developed to precipitate various second phases in hightemperature superconducting BiaSraCaCuaOs ceramics with different chemical compositions. In each case, the precipitation results in an increase of the intragranular critical current density of the samples which is believed to express improved pinning properties of the superconducting ceramics, in particular an increased .pinning energy, which reduces the probability for thermally activated depinning.

One of the ways to increase pinning force in superconductors is to create small precipitates of secondary phases in the bulk matrix. The samples of superconductor Bi, ,x Sr,\_XCa,Cu,O, with different compositions have been decomposed according to the phase diagram of the BiO , .5 -Sr&CaO-CuO system
