Abstract

An experimental study has been made of the electric field effect in an electrode/insulator/superconductor system on the critical current (I_c) and the current/voltage characteristics at 77 K of highly textured Bi₂Sr₂CaCu₂O_y (2212) superconductors. Large polycrystalline 2212 bars were prepared by directional isothermal growth from a melt. It was established that in strong electric fields (to 120 MV/m) I_c in the bars increases as much as 20% and resistance decreases for current I > I_c. The field effect is reversible and is observed in various field orientations with respect to the growth direction of the bars. Peculiarities of the field effect are observed in the presence of hysteresis of the current/voltage characteristics.
