Synthesis of pure Bi-2223 superconductor via co-precipitation method / Nur Humaira Yasmin Mohd Alimi

Superconductor has long be an interest of researches as the potential it possesses. Superconductor is a material that has zero resistance when reaching its critical temperature which give unlimited electrical conductivity theoretically. The aim of this research is to study the synthesis of pure Bi2S...
