Abstract
Generally bad effects of water on the superconductivity of high Tc superconductors have been pointed out by many workers. Present paper deals with the observation of the deterioration process of Bi-Pb-Sr Ca- Cu-O system soaked in water.
The resistivity vs temperature curves clearly showed the deterioration (lowering of Tc) of the samples soaked in water. The investigation of magnetic properties is also given with respect to the water effect.
