Abstract: Laser heated pedestal growth technique (LHPG) has been used to fabricate BSCCO (BiSrCaCuO) superconductive wires.The critical current density of the wires has surpassed 5000A/cm~2 (78K, OT;cross area=1.04 mm~2).The fiber rods obtained directly from LHPG method are semiconductive and after heat treatment at temperature range from 780 to 870℃,they transformed into superconductive wires.Triple junctions and sharp grain boundary exist in the sample.HREM studies showed the intergrowth of (010) and (110),the occasional missing of CaCuO_2 layer in the 2212 phase.

Key words: BiSrCaCuO superconductive wire, laser heated pedestal growth, microstructure
