Abstract
The $YBa_2Cu_{3-y}Ag_yO_{7-x}$ high-temperature superconductors were prepared by pyrophoric synthetic method from $Y_2O_3$, $BaCO_3$, CuO, and $AgNO_3$ powders. When we were partially substituted Ag for Cu in $YBa_3Cu_3O_{7-x}$, the superconducting properties of $YBa_2Cu_{3-y}Ag_yO_{7-x}$ were investigated with X-ray diffractometer, resisitivity measuring equipment, SEM, and Vickers Hardness. The Tc,zero of $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$ was 91K, the density was $5.2g/cm^3$, and the hardness was $590kg/mm^2$. When Ag was substituted below y=0.15, electrical property of $YBa_2Cu_{3-y}Ag_yO_{7-x}$ did not change but microstructure, density, and hardness were enhanced.
원료물질인 $Y_2O_3$, $BaCO_3$, CuO 및 $AgNO_3$ 분말로부터 Y계 고온초전도체를 발화합성법으로 제조하였다 $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$와 Cu를 Ag로 부분 치환한 $YBa_2Cu_{3-y}Ag_yO_{7-x}$의 특성을 X-ray diffractometer, resistivity measuring equipment, SEM, and Vickers Hardness 등으로 분석하였다. $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$의 Tc,zero는 91K였고, 밀도는 $5.2g/cm^3$, 경도는 $590kg/mm^2$였다. Cu를 Ag로 0.15몰 이하 부분 치환한 $YBa_2Cu_{3-y}Ag_yO_{7-x}$의 경우 임계온도(Tc)는 거의 변하지 않으면서 미세구조, 밀도 및 경도가 향상되었다.
