    • 2015, Andrea Malagoli, Alessandro Leveratto, Valeria Braccini, Daniele Contarino, Carlo Ferdeghini, “New concept for the development of Bi-2212 wires for high field applications”, in arXiv[1]:
      The first step towards high critical currents in Bi-2212 wires was the comprehension that the supercurrent is blocked over long lengths by filament-diameter bubbles grown during the melt stage, which cause expansion of the wire diameter and dedensification of the superconducting filaments.
