PbO/B203-based glass coatings were applied to monolithic YBa2Cu30x wires. Smooth, dense coatings were obtained by heating in O2 at 375 "C for 0.5-1.0 h. The coatings did not affect superconducting properties and provided mechanical strengthening.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
