Abstract
Finely divided, homogeneous and easily sintered superconducting powders of at least one rare earth element, e.g., yttrium and/or lanthanum, at least one alkaline earth metal, e.g., barium, calcium and/or strontium, and at least one transition metal, e.g., copper, nickel, manganese, cobalt and/or iron, and oxygen, are produced by (a) intimately admixing a sol of a rare earth element and an aqueous solution of at least one alkaline earth metal nitrate and of at least one nitrate of a transition metal, with the pH of the resulting mixture being adjusted to a value such that said nitrates remain solubilized therein; (b) drying the resulting mixture; (c) calcining the dried product; and, optionally; (d) grinding the calcined material.
