BSCCO single crystal

The electrodeposited Bi2Sr2CaiCu2Ox (BSCCO) precursor films were obtained by co-electrodeposition of the constituent metals using nitrate salts dissolved in DMSO solvent. The electrodeposition was performed in a closed-cell configuration at room temperature ( 24°C). The cation ratios of the electrodeposition bath were adjusted systematically to obtain BSCCO precursor compositions. A typical electrolyte-bath composition for the BSCCO films consisted of 2.0-g Bi(N03)3-5H20,1.0-g Sr(N03)2, 0.6-g Ca(N03)2-4H20, and 0.9-g Cu(N03)2-6H20 dissolved in 400 mL of DMSO solvent. The substrates were single-crystal LAO coated with 300 A of Ag.
