An amorphous phase of Bi1Ca1Sr1Cu2Ox was prepared by a rapid quench from the melt. It was not superconducting above 4.2 K. High-temperature superconducting phases, with superconducting onsets up to 107 K, were formed by annealing and crystallising amorphous samples in the temperature range of 810 to 920°C. Quenched, partly amorphous samples displayed high-temperature superconductivity but with a lower transition temperature than the fully crystallised ones.
