LFZ fibre texture modification induced by electrical polarization

abstract

Preliminary results of electric current flux application during LFZ growth of BSCCO fibres show a dramatic effect on fibre texture. The solute electromigration modifies the ionic transport and consequently the phase development, inducing a randomly crystal orientation on the as-grown fibres. After heat treatment, fibres grown with reverse electric current are three times more resistive at room temperature than those without current, although presenting a narrower transition to the superconducting state.
