An image forming apparatus is provided which is capable of positively preventing a recording sheet from being wound around a conveying means that conveys the recording sheet. A high voltage power supply section applies voltage to feeding brushes disposed in contact with the surface of a pressurizing roller having an electrically conductive surface. A winding sensor is disposed in contact with the surface of the pressurizing roller and is located in a sheet passing area of the pressurizing roller. A CPU sets a threshold voltage to a value corresponding to the temperature of the pressurizing roller detected by a temperature sensor, and detects whether the recording sheet is wound around the pressurizing roller, based upon the set threshold voltage and voltage of the pressurizing roller in the sheet passing area detected by the winding sensor.

A method for forming a superconductive thin film according to the invention wherein a superconductive thin film of an oxide obtaining Bi (bismuth) is formed on an substrate by a chemical vapor deposition technique makes use of triphenyl bismuth, Bi-(C.sub.6 H.sub.5).sub.3, as a gas source for bismuth. By this, the resultant superconductive thin film has a flat surface without damages, and good superconductive characteristics. Where the substrate is susceptible to oxidation, at least a mono-atomic layer of bismuth is formed on the substrate, after which the superconductive thin film is formed. Accordingly, stable transmission of a deposition gas is ensured with the substrate being prevented from oxidation.
