Abstract: Bi-2212 superconductive oxides with nanometer grains have been prepared by means of crystallization from amorphous materials.The structure and grain-size of samples were examined by.X-ray.diffraction,scanning electron microscopy.and high resolution electron microscopy.The temperature dependence of the resistivity.and a.c.susceptibility was measured by the standard four-probe method and the standard mutual-induction measurement,respectively.With the decrease of temperature,the resistivity of the Bi-2212 phase with grain size in nanometer was found to diminish to zero without sudden drop.No diamagnetic transition was detected from room temperature to 4.2 K.The formation of the nanocrystalline 2212 phase and the effect of grain size on the superconductivity were discussed.

Key words: Bi-2212, granular, superconductivity, nanocrystal
