Abstract :
The transport properties of superconducting interconnections in multifilamentary Bi2Sr2Ca2Cu3O10 /Ag-alloy tapes are analyzed. A simple experimental procedure is developed to assess the interconnections in a direct and quantitative way. Distinct behavior was observed for tapes produced in different conditions. Results of the transport measurements are consistent with the tape microstructure
