We have systematically studied the superconducting properties and flux pinning enhancement of $(Y_{0.33}Sm_{0.33}Nd_{0.33})\;Ba_2Cu_3O_y$ [(YSN)-123] composite oxides by melt growth process in air. A sample prepared by this method showed well-textured microstructure, and $(Y_{0.33}Sm_{0.33}Nd_{0.33})\;BaCuO_5$ [(YSN)211] nonsuperconducting particles were uniformly dispersed in large (YSN) 123 superconducting matrix. The sample showed a sharp superconducting transition at 91 K. The magnetization measurements of the (YSN)-123 sample exhibited the enhanced flux pinning, compared with $YBa_2Cu_3O_y$ (Y-123) sample without Sm and Nd. Critical current densities of (YSN)-123 sample was $2.5{\times}10^4 A/cm^2$ at 2 T and 77 K.

The conditions of zone-melting method such as a sample travel speed in a furnace, content of Nd422, control of melting temperature, and heat-treatment with/without Ar gas for $NdBa_{2}Cu_{3}O_{7-\delta}$ superconductor was optimized, As a results, a $NdBa_{2}Cu_{3}O_{7-\delta}$ sample with a surface area of $25mm^{2}$ showed a good superconducting properties when its travel speed was 6 mm/h, The improvement of superconductivity added with 10~20 wt% of Nd422 phase increasing pinning effect was also shown. The critical current density, $J_{c}$ was remarkable affected by the condition of heat-treatment temperature of $NdBa_{2}Cu_{3}O_{7-\delta}$superconductor with/without Ar ambient gas.

Turbulent flow and heat transfer to water at supercritical pressure flowing in vertical pipes is investigated using direct numerical simulation (DNS). A conservative space-time discretization scheme for variable-density flows at low Mach numbers is adopted in the present study to treat steep variations of fluid properties at supercritical pressure just above the thermodynamic critical point. The fluid properties at these conditions are obtained using PROPATH and used in the form of tables in the simulations. The buoyancy influence induced by strong variation of density across the pseudo-critical temperature proved to play an important role in turbulent flow and heat transfer at supercritical state. Depending on the degree of buoyancy influence, turbulent heat transfer may be enhanced or significantly deteriorated, resulting in local hot spots along the heated surface.

Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O superconducting system has both the low and high Tc phases. We added Pb and sintered for 200hrs. in OS12T atmosphere in order to get the superconductor above critical temperature 100K. Superconducting properties of the Bi(Pb)SrCaCuO system doped Sb were also investigated. When Sb of 0.1mol is added, the sintering time becomes shorter than that doped Pb only. We could get the critical temperature 102K at the samples sintered for 24hrs. and 109K for 210hrs.

The effect of silver oxide (14 wt.%) addition to YBCO compounds and electrophoretic deposition of composite particles prepared by solid phase reaction have been investigated. The results were compared with those for as-processed samples with YBCO films on Ag wire substrate. Our experiments show that the adhesion, microstructure changes, superconducting properties of these films is sensitive to the silver content and sintering conditions. Adding a small amount of PEG tends to remove cracks in the YBCO and (YBCO + Ag) films, which develop during the heating process. An attempt has been made to explain the experimental observations regarding variation of critical current density with the YBCO and (YBCO + Ag) films.

Magnetic properties of model exchange-spring magnets, which are composed of magnetically soft and hard grains, were calculated by means of computer simulation. The dependence of the magnetic properties on the strength of intergrain exchange interaction and the amount of soft grains was studied. The existence of soft grains enhanced the remanence remarkably, and the remanence over $0.8M_{s}$ was obtained in the model magnets containing 25% or more soft grains by volume. The calculated coercivity vs. the strength of the exchange interaction curves showed a peak at a critical strength of the exchange interaction, although the remanence increased monotonously with increase in the strength of the exchange interaction. Thus the maximum energy product also reached a peak around the same critical strength. The calculated maximum energy product exceeded $300kJ/m^{3}$ when the magnet is assumed to be composed of $Fe_{3}B$ and $Nd_{2}Fe_{14}B$.

In practical applications of HTS tapes for electric devices such as coils and power cables, the jointing of HTS tapes is inevitable even though long length tapes have recently been achieved. The critical current, $I_c$, degradation behaviors with tensile and bending deformations were investigated in commercially available YBCO coated conductor tapes. When the V-I relationship was measured at the jointed section of the lap-jointed YBCO CC tapes, the resistance at the joint decreased with increasing joint length. The critical load for 95% $I_c$ retention were determined for the IBAD and RABiTS YBCO tapes and they were 175 and 355N, respectively. Fracture occurred at the unjointed part which represents strong copper lamination and solder jointing. The electro-mechanical properties of lap-jointed CC tapes depended on the properties of single tapes. The V-I behavior under bending strain was similar with the tensile case.

Much studies have been concentrated to develop the fabrication technique for high critical current density but still there are a lot of gap which should be overcome for large scale application of superconducting materials at liquid nitrogen temperature. The improvement of the critical current can be achieved by forming the nano size defect working as a flux pinning center inside the superconductor. In this paper, the establishment of fabrication condition and additive effects of second elements were examined so as to improve the related properties to the practical use of superconductor.
