We estimated the transition temperature values from the DC resistivity measurements. We observed that transition temperature, T-c, and transport critical current density, J(c)(trans), depend on the cooling rates of the samples. They both increase with increasing cooling rates. We estimated the peak temperature, T-P, from our previous ac susceptibility measurements. The pinning force density increased with increasing the cooling rate. XRD patterns are used to calculate lattice parameter c and obtain information about Bi-2223 phase ratio. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V.
