An intrinsic tunnel junction was made using two Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O 8+ δ single-crystal
whiskers. The two whiskers with a cross angle were overlaid at their c planes and connected …

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 …

We report the growth of highly oriented microscopic whisker-like crystals in the Bi–Sr–Ca–
Cu–O system by means of glassy precursors. The dependence of the growth on the …

Direct evidence is reported of structural and electronic effects induced on a single
Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+ δ (Bi-2212) whisker during a progressive annealing process. The crystal …

Intrinsic Josephson junctions have been successfully fabricated without any micro-
fabrication technique. Two Bi2212 whiskers were crossed with one another and joined by …

We report a set of resistivity measurements along the a-axis of a Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O 8+ δ
microscopic superconducting whisker. The effect of the storage environment on sample …

Abstract Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O x whiskers have been grown by a modified airtight two-crucible
method, employing radial and vertical thermal gradients resulting from the relative position …

Superconducting whiskers of Bi-2212 have been grown by an airtight crucible method in
elevated magnetic fields, up to 10T. Growth behavior with and without application of a …

Growth of long whiskers of superconducting Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+ δ by a modified annealing
process has been reported. A twofold increase in the growth rate of whiskers has been …

In this study, the formation of micro-whiskers at the mercury based cuprate superconductors,
synthesized by solid state reaction technique has been investigated for both oxygen and …
