Description
BSCCO (Bismuth strontium calcium copper oxide) is a high-temperature layered superconductor. It has the generalized chemical formula Bi2Sr2Can−1CunO2n+4+x, and n=2 which is also known as Bi-2212 with critical temperature (Tc) at ~90-95K. It is perfectly layered and very easy to exfoliate down to thin layers using mechanical exfoliation techniques. Our crystals have been synthesized our modified optical float zone technique to retain 6N purity and layered crystalline structure.
Bi-2223 has the generalized chemical formula Bi2Sr2Can−1CunO2n+4+x, and n=3 with critical temperature (Tc) up to 108K depending on the measurement technique.
Bi-2201 has the generalized chemical formula Bi2Sr2Can−1CunO2n+4+x, and n=1 with critical temperature (Tc) up to 23K depending on the measurement technique.
All BSCCO types are layered and very easy to exfoliate down to thin layers using mechanical exfoliation techniques. Our crystals have been synthesized our modified optical float zone technique to retain 6N purity and layered crystalline structure.
