“…11,194,195 Doping with alumina is often used to modify the properties of the generic superconducting system. In this connection, the effect of Al 2 O 3 on the superconducting transition temperatures of Bi2212 and (Bi,Pb)2223, 197 ± 199 on the ability of the phases in the generic system to undergo glass transitions, 200,201 on the microstructure of molten Bi2212, 197 on the mechanical properties of a (Bi,Pb)2223-based composite (see Ref. 198) and on the pinning force of the magnetic vortices in Bi2212 (see Refs 202 and 203) was studied.…”
