Study of superconductivity in layered iron-based materials was initiated in 2006 by Hosono's group, and boosted in 2008 by the superconducting transition temperature, $T_c$, of 26 K in $LaFeAsO_{1-X}F_X$. Since then, enormous researches have been done on the materials, with $T_c$ reaching as high as 55 K. Here, we review briefly experimental and theoretical results on atomic and electronic structures and magnetic and superconducting properties of FeAs-based superconductors and related compounds. We seek for clues for unconventional superconductivity in the materials.

Squeeze film dampers (SFDs) are designed and analyzed for radial superconducting bearings. The designed SFDs are mounted on the superconductors submerged in liquid nitrogen such that the dampers should supply additional damping to the relatively underdamped superconducting bearing support . Basic theory of SFD assembled with superconductors is introduced. Rotordynamic simulations are provided to support the feasibility of the superconducting bearings mounted on SFDs for a horizontal flywheel energy storage system.

YBa2Cu3O7-x oxide superconductors were fabricated by sintering and hotisostatic pressing (HIP), and their microstructures and properties were compared with each other. Thougha part of the second phase was observed along grain boundaries, their structures were consisted of single (123) phase and they had many porosities. But, porosities were remakably reduced by Hiping and the densification was brought about. The structure of (123) compound also showed a number of twins, which are typical of high Tc superconductors. The on-set temperature of YBa2Cu3O7-x compound sintered at 96$0^{\circ}C$ in oxygen and hipped at 88$0^{\circ}C$ was highest, but that shwoed 0 resistance at 87$^{\circ}$K, which is a little lower than the compound sintered at 96$0^{\circ}C$. HIP treatment also increased the critical current density of as-sintered compound. However, its value was low, which may be ascribed to the many pores of starting-sintered compact and partially to the second phase along grain boundaries.

In this study, a new sintered specimens of Y$\_$1-x/Sm$\_$x/Ba$_2$Cu$_3$O$\_$y/ is composed by substituting Sm for a part of Y in the YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$\_$y/ high Tc superconductor, in order to study of making (Y$.$Sm)-Ba-Cu-O system sintered specimens and their characteristics. An their change affected on superconductivity and their characteristics are studied by changing the x range of the composition rate. The resistances of electrical characteristics under the conditions of the composition and the temperature are measured by using Ac four probe method in the procedure of this experiments. And it is confirmed that the Meissner effect from the superconductivity of composed Sm system exists in the range of 0

The discoveries of high temperature superconductors received great attention due to their high critical temperatures. These materials also exhibit extremely high critical magnetic fields and high critical current density at low temperature, high magnetic field. Thus, they are the most promising materials for superconducting magnets above 20 T. In this talk, progress in the development of HTS materials and insert coils at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory will be reviewed. In 1999, a Bi-2212 stack of double pancakes generated 3 T in a 19 T background field. These results will be reviewed in terms of implications for future systems. Individual double pancakes of Bi-2223 have also been tested and their performance will also be discused. The present goal of a 57 system will be presented and the key technical requirements for larger, higher field systems will be addressed. It will be shown that in addition to increased critical current density, improved mechanical performance (stain resistanced) is necessary for high field systems. Furthemore, improvements in the conductor n-value will improve prospects for operational systems.

고온초전도체 $Y_1Ba_2Cu_3O_{7-y}$의 grain을 높은 자기장에서 정렬시켜 여러가지 자기적 특성을 조사하였다. Grain이 정렬된 초전도체는 단결정과 같이 Cu-O layer에 수직, 수평 방향에 대해 자기이방성을 가진다. 2~77 K의 온도영역에서 측정한 lower critical field$(H_{c1})$은 온도가 증가하면서 선형적으로 감소하였는데, Cu-O layer에 대하여 외부 자기장이 수직인 경우가 더욱 급격히 감소하였다. 온도변화에 따른 자율화$(4{\pi}\;X)$의 측정으로부터 극저온의 자화율이 -1에 가까운 값을 가진다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 이 자화 곡선을 London의 공식과 two-fluid model을 이용해 최소자승법으로 fitting하여 절대 영도에서 침투깊이$({\lambda}_0)$를 구하였다. 또한 2 K에서 외부 자기장에 따른 자화곡선을 측정하였으며, Bean의 critical state model을 이용한 임계전류밀도$(J_c)$의 계산으로부터 grain내부는 단결정 수준의 높은 $(J_c)$를 가지고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

By using a gas-tight electrochemical cell, we can perform high-temperature coulometric titration and measure electronic transport properties to determine the elecronic defect structure of metal oxides. This technique reduces the time and expense required for conventional thermogravimetric measurements. The components of the gas-tight coulometric titration cell are an oxygen sensor, Pt/yttria stabilitized zirconia(YSZ)/Pt, and an encapsulated metal oxide sample. Based on cell design, both transport and thermodynamic measurements can be performed over a wide range of oxygen partial pressure ($pO_2=10^{-35}$ to 1 atm). This paper describes the high-temperature gas-tight electrochemical cells used to determine electronic defect structures and transport properties for pure and doped-oxide systems, such as YSZ, doped and pure ceria $(Ca-CeO_2 \;and\; CeO_2)$, copper oxides and copper-oxide-based ceramic superconductors, transition metal oxides, $SrFeCo_{0.5}O_x,\; and \;BaTiO_2$.

Uncooled infrared(IR) detectors that use a microbolometer with a large focal-plane array(FPA) have been developed with surface micromachining technology. There are many materials for microbolometers, such as metals, vanadium oxide, semiconductors and superconductors. Among theses, vanadium oxide is a promising material for uncooled microbolometers due to it high temperature coefficient of resistance(TCR) at room temperature. It is, however, is very difficult to deposit vanadium oxide thin films having a high TCR and low resistance because of the process limits in microbolometer fabrication. In general, vanadium oxides have been applied to microbolometer in mixed phases formed by ion beam deposition methods at low temperature with TCR in the range from -1.5 to -2.0%K.
