This paper describes the first obtention of BiVO4 thin films. These films were prepared with
the Metalorganic Decomposition technique, starting from bismuth 2-ethyl-hexanoate and …

We review the current status of the growth, characterization and applications of Bi–Sr–Ca–
Cu–O (BSCCO) whiskers from the materials science point of view. Our analysis leads to the …

The cation solubility limits of the n= 2 and n= 3 superconducting phases in the Bi2 (SrxCa1−
x) n+ 1CunOy system were established along tie lines with compatible phases via electron …

We determined the phase stability limits of Bi2Sr2Ca1Cu2O8+ δ and Bi2Sr2Ca2Cu3O10+ δ
in the temperature range 650–880° C using a solid‐state electrochemical technique. These …

The phase relationships and solid-solution region of the Bi 2 Sr 2 Ca 1 Cu 2 O y (2212)
superconductor were investigated for compositions around the ideal 2212 stoichiometry at …

The extension of the single-phase field of the two-layer superconductor Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O 8
is clarified for 830° C in air. The single-phase field of “2212” is a trigonal bipyramid with a …

This review focus the more relevant foundations and applications of the Metallo-Organic
Decomposition (MOD) technique, mainly within the last decade. The technique has grown …

Measurements were made of the compositional range of the Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O x
superconductor in which the effects of intergrowths and grain-boundary phases were …

The subsolidus and primary crystallization phase field of the “2212”(Bi: Sr: Ca: Cu) phase in
the BSCCO system have been investigated. At 830° C, this phase was observed to be in …

We describe a method for growing large high quality single crystals of Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O 8+
δ by slow cooling nearly stoichiometric melts in the presence of a large thermal gradient …
