Abstract

Ceramic superconductor materials, e.g., of rare earth/alkaline earth metal/transition metal/oxygen type, contain an effective stabilizing amount of fluorine atoms distributed therein in a concentration gradient decreasing from the external face surface of the material to the core region thereof; advantageously the fluorine atoms are principally distributed in an external protective diffusion barrier layer.
