Nanostructured ceramics of the composition Bi 0.95 La 0.05 FeO 3 were fabricated, and the structure was studied before and after exposure to an argon plasma flow at a temperature of ∼ 600 °C for ∼ 30 minutes. Plasma treatment of the surface, with a positive effect of the formation of a monolithically conjugated structure and an increase in the size of grain crystallites, leads to a decrease in the proportion of the main phase on the surface to ∼70%. It has been established that compaction is up to ∼30% of the sample thickness.

The structure and properties of superconducting nanostructured ceramics YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7-y (YBCO) before and after exposure to a plasma flow consisting of a mixture of argon and oxygen (at ∼ 600 °C for ∼ 1 min) are investigated. Plasma surface treatment, in addition to compaction of grains, leads to a change in the oxygen stoichiometry index and average crystallite size, as well as to a decrease in the proportion of the superconducting phase in the ceramic. After plasma treatment of ceramics, the character of the temperature dependence of the electrical resistance ρ = f (T) changes from metallic to semiconductor, and the temperature T c, onset remains constant.

The paper presents the results of a study of the surface structure of nanostructured superconducting ceramics YBa2Cu3O7-y (YBCO) before and after short-term exposure to a plasma stream. Exposure to the plasma stream changes the structure of the ceramic surface and the oxygen content in it, and also slightly increases the average crystallite size.
