High Tc Tl–Ba–Ca–Cu–O (A) and Tl–Ba–Sr–Ca–Cu–O (B) superconducting filaments were successfully prepared using a technique in which suspension spun and pyrolyzed filaments were densified by pressing and sintering. A zero resistance state was achieved at 112 K and 106 K, and the maximum Jc at 77 K, 0 T was 1200 A/cm2 and 2300 A/cm2 for Tl–Ba–Ca–Cu–O (A) and Tl–Ba–Sr–Ca–Cu–O (B) filaments, respectively. Although the starting powder had a high Tc phase of Tl2Ba2Ca2Cu3Ox, the structure of the filament with high Jc was a high Tc phase of Tl1Ba2Ca2Cu3Ox, due to the volatility of Tl oxide from the large surface area of the filament.
