Abstract Results on the pressure dependence of the transition temperatureT c and the resistancetemperature behaviour of Bi2Ca1 Sr2Cu2Ox compound are presented. Both the onsetT c and theT c (R = O) are found to decrease with increasing pressure in the 0 to 50 kbar (1 bar = 105Pa) range. Up to 20 k bar, the normal state resistivity is seen to be metallic beyond which it becomes semiconducting. The pressure is found to reduce theT c at a rate of 0.2 K kbar−1. The scanning electron micrographs of the starting bismuth cuprates showed characteristic needle-like structure, whereas the pressurized samples were found to be particularly different, consisting of small grains.
