Abstract
$Bi_2Sr_2Ca_2Cu_3Oy$-based superconductor phases were synthesized by the wet process using acetate precursors. Superconducting transition temperature ($T_c$) was determined from both measurements of electrical resistivity and magnetic susceptibility for the samples which were sintered at the temperatures of $850^{\circ}C$, $860^{\circ}C$, and $870^{\circ}C$ for 40 hours, respectively. The values of carrier concentration from Hall measurements were compared with $T_c$ data as a function of the sintering temperature. The formation mechanism of the superconducting phase was tentatively discussed on a basis of the distribution profile concept of the carrier concentration and the amount of superconducting phases in a ceramic bulk. This explanation may be supported by the experimental results of correlation between the relative amount of superconducting phases and the difference of $T_c$ values between superconducting onset temperature and cutoff temperature at each sintering temperature.
