The microstructure and properties of high Tc superconducting oxides

• There has been considerable progress in producing and characterizing high Tc superconductors, but a number of materials science-related problems still exist, before their mechanical and electrical properties meet the requirements of many of the proposed applications. These materials are brittle, ceramic compounds with long unit cells that can be thought of as formed from layers of various oxides are an important common feature. The long unit cell structure leads to anisotropy in their electrical and mechanical properties, including the current carrying capacity or current density Jc. The crystallography and microstructure of the three major families of high Tc superconductors are reviewed and possible solutions to some of the materials problems are presented
