Popis: Electromotive-force (EMF) measurements of oxygen fugacities as a function of stoichiometry have been made in the lead-doped Bi-2223 superconducting system in the temperature range 700–815°C by means of an oxygen titration technique that employs an yttria-stabilized zirconia electrolyte. The results of our studies indicate that processing or annealing lead-doped Bi-2223 at temperatures ranging from 750 to 815°C and at oxygen partial pressures ranging from ∼ 0.02 to 0.2 atm should preserve Bi-2223 as essentially single-phase material. Thermodynamic assessments of the partial molar quantities Δ S ( O 2 ) and Δ H ( O 2 ) indicate that the plateau regions in the plot of oxygen partial pressure versus oxygen stoichiometry (x) can be represented by the diphasic CuOCu2O system. In accord with the EMF measurements, it was found that lead-doped Bi-2223 in a silver sheath is stable at 815°C for oxygen partial pressures between 0.02 and 0.13 atm.
