Title: High-Tc superconductor oxide/oxide composite materials: A review and some results in the system "Bi-based HTS cuprates/insulating oxides"

Abstract: We present a review on superconducting composite materials. The large variety of presented couples, from metal/HTS to polymer/HST and oxide/HTS, shows the great possibilities offered by these kinds of composites. This review is focused on "oxide/oxide" superconducting composites to illustrate the potentialities of this new variety of materials. From our own results, Bi2Sr3CaO7/Bi-2212 (or BiPb-2223) is a promising couple of oxides, which presents interesting features in view of applications for bolometers and magnetisation processes.
