Characterization of Mechanical Properties of Bi[2]Sr[2]CaCu[2]O[8-x] Superconductor Through Scanning Electron Microscopy

Abstract

Color poster with text, images, charts, and models.Bi-2212 is brittle and susceptible to mechanical damage. Our research seeks to understand why this damage occurs, and how it propagates through the material.U.S. Department of Energy (DoE), Office of High Energy Physics Award DE-FG02-13ER42036, and the University of Wisconsin--Eau Claire Office of Research and Sponsored Programs
