    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a material which is almost free from poisonous property, constituted of abundantly existing elements, excellent in heat resistance and chemical durability and exhibits high thermoelectric conversion efficiency by specifying the composition of an oxide comprising Ca, Bi, Co and O to have a specific Seebeck coefficient and electroconductivity. SOLUTION: A complex oxide expressed by the general formula: Ca3-xBixCo4 Oy (0 = 90 μ V/K and electroconductivity of >=5×103 S/m is used as a p-type thermoelectric converting material. The complex oxide is excellent in thermoelectric conversion efficiency, heat resistance and durability, and when the complex oxide is incorporated into a high temp. thermoelectric power generating system, it becomes possible to recover the waste heat energy. This material is obtained by mixing a Ca source such as CaO, a Bi source such as Bi2O3 and a Co source such as CoO in prescribed blending ratios and firing the obtained mixture at about 920 to 1,100 deg.C under an oxidizing atmosphere. At this time, the oxygen content can be controlled by adjusting the oxygen partial pressure in the atmosphere.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To widen the applicability range of Bi system superconducting material by introducing a center for pinning, which acts even at a temperature of 20 K or higher. SOLUTION: 1. This tape material composed of Bi, Pb, Sr, Ca, Cu and O and has a Bi2 Sr2 CaCu2 O8 (Bi-2212) structure. At least one of the layers of superconductor, composition of a crystal grain of which is expressed by formula Bi1.2-1.6 Pb0.4-0.8 Sr1.8-2.4 Ca0.8-1.0 Cu2.0 Ox , and a silver sheet are laminated alternately. 2. In this method, a precursor compact formed by alternately laminating one of layers of raw material powder, composition of which is expressed by formula Bi1.2-1.6 Pb0.4-0.8 Sr1.8-2.4 Ca0.8-1.0 Cu2.0 Ox and which has Bi-2212 structure and a silver sheet is first produced for a manufacturing method of oxide superconducting tape material with a Bi2 Sr2 CaCu2 O8 structure. Then, after fusing only the raw material layer under partial oxygen pressure of 0-90%, crystalization is performed while keeping the same temperature as the fusing temperature and raising the partial oxygen pressure.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently obtain fibrous crystals having Bi2 Sr2 CaCu2 O8 structure by rapidly cooling a melt consisting of Bi, Sr, Ca, Cu, Al and O, heat-treating and firing the resultant glass precursor under specified conditions. SOLUTION: Starting materials are mixed so as to give BiSrCaCu2 Ox and this mixture is put in an alumina crucible and heated to a high temp. By this heating, the mixture is melted and a proper amt. of Al is leached from the crucible to prepare a melt consisting of Bi, Sr, Ca, Cu, Al and O. This melt is rapidly cooled and the resultant glass precursor is heat-treated at 850-870 deg.C for 20-60hr and then fired at 840-880 deg.C for 10-500hr to obtain the objective superconducting fibrous crystals having Bi2 Sr2 CaCu2 O8 structure (2212 phase). When the crystals are used, a superconducting material having high critical current density can be produced.
