Electrophoretic Route to Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+y Films and Microfibers from Superconducting Colloids

Superconducting colloids produced by exfoliation of Bi‐based compounds with high superconducting transition temperatures (high‐Tcs) can be used as precursors to synthesize superconducting films and nanowires by a simple electrophoretic‐deposition technique. Organic‐salt intercalates of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8...

Description
Summary:Superconducting colloids produced by exfoliation of Bi‐based compounds with high superconducting transition temperatures (high‐Tcs) can be used as precursors to synthesize superconducting films and nanowires by a simple electrophoretic‐deposition technique. Organic‐salt intercalates of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+y, exfoliated by ultrasonication in acetone, can easily be used to coat silver microfibers (see Figure). These results may be significant for high‐Tc superconducting film/wire fabrication.
