Methods for forming complex oxidation reaction products including superconducting articles.

摘要

A complex oxidation reaction product of two or more metals in an oxidized state is formed by positioning a suitable precursor metal (1) adjacent to a permeable mass (2) of a metal-containing compound in an oxidizing atmosphere and heating the assembly to form a body of molten precursor metal. The molten metal infiltrates the permeable mass (2) and reacts therewith and with the oxidizing atmosphere to form a complex oxidation reaction product. Methods for determining the shape of the resulting article are described. The disclosed methods can be used to form superconducting perovskites.
