Abstract

A tractable ceramic precursor and method for producing the same, capable of being formed into useful shapes at low temperatures and thereafter capable of transformation into high-temperature superconducting ceramics is provided. The method consists of preparing one or more organometallic compounds selected from organometallic clusters and organometallic polymers and combining them in the proper stoichiometric ratio to form a tractable ceramic precursor having rheological/viscoelastic properties suitable for forming useful shapes and having metal elements in suitable proportions to form high-temperature superconducting ceramics.
