Abstract
The escalation of thermochemical research in the 1990s became a main engine in the search for yet new sorts of ceramic superconducting material, generally called the high-T c superconductors (HTSC), with a transition temperature (T c) far above the boiling temperature of nitrogen (77 K). Although the research boom has gradually expired, the commercial applications missed the initially promised contractions of magnetically levitated trains, powerful electric motors, or superefficient power transmission. However, thermal analysis evidently played a significant role, so that it became also reflected in extended publication activity in relevant journals, not excluding Thermochimica Acta and Journal of Thermal Analysis. The progress of HTSC was associated with better understanding of phase diagrams, starting from the oxide (Cu, Ba, Y), their binaries through pseudo-binaries to the Y–Ba–Cu–O pseudo-ternaries, yielding an improvement in the construction of phase diagrams. The research finally moved to the novel families of HTSC in the Bi–Ca–Sr–Cu–O systems and the determination of their thermodynamic properties. Increased attention was paid to the improvement of calculation methods and simulation procedures of the phases involved, and finally a series of improved thermodynamic data was published (Table 22.1).
