In order to realize the commercial application of HTSC materials, it is necessary to develop the fabrication process of high Tc oxide superconductor materials with desired shape and for practical application and high critical current density as well as good mechanical strength which can withstand high lorenz force generated at high magnetic field. 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 HTSC materials at liquid nitrogen temperature. Recently some new fabrication techniques have been developed for YBaCuO bulk superconductor with high mechanical strength and critical current density. In this project, 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 YBaCuO superconductor, and we reported the production of the YBaCuO high Tc superconductor by the pyrolysis method.

임계온도가 액체질소의 비등점(77K)보다 높은 산화물 고온 초전도체가 발견된 이후 초전도체를 여러분야에 응용하고자 하는 연구가 있어왔다. 이러한 연구중 초전도체의 자기부상특성을 이용한 마그네틱 베어링에 관한 연구가 시작되었다. 특히 최근에 임계전류밀도가 높은 덩어리형 고온 초전도체가 개발되어, 큰 부하지지력을 갖고 마찰계수가 작은 초전도 마그네틱 베어링이 가능하게 되었다. 고온 초전도체를 사용한 반발식 수동형 마그네틱 베어링은 마이스너 효과(Meissner effect)뿐 아니라 자속고정효과(Flux pinning effect)에 의해 자체적으로 외란에 대한 위치안정성을 가지며, 히스테리시스 손실에 의한 에너지 소산을 통해 외란에 대해 강한 감쇠능력을 가진다는 장점을 가지고 있으며, 대중량을 지지할 수 있다. 이러한 초전도체의 특성에 관한 정량적 수치해석은 초전도 베어링의 설계에 필수적이나 아직 국내에서는 그러한 시도가 없었다. 이러한 여건을 고려하여 본 연구에서는 Bulk형 초전도체와 자석간의 부상력 변화를 축대칭 모델로 수치해석하여 기존의 실험들과 정량적인 비교를 하여 수치해석 코드의 신뢰성을 확보하고 이를 기반으로 다양한 상황을 예측할 수 있음을 보이고자 한다.

The time dependence of irreversible magnetization of grain aligned infinite layer superconductor Sr$_{0.9}$La$_{0.1}$CuO$_2$ was measured in temperature range of 2 K < T < 30 K for H= 0.5 T, 1.0 T and 1.5 T parallel to c-axis. From this, we calculated normalized flux creep rate S(T) ${\equiv}$ dlnM/dlnt and found that the temperature independent region in S(T) is significantly wide in comparision with other cuprate superconductors. Using the method of Maley et al., we also deduce the current density dependence of pinning potential and glassy exponent ${\mu}$.

Despite growing interest in Ge as a possible alternative to Si, reliable data on Ge surface has been relatively scarce. Using low temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), we investigate band-bending effects of localized charge traps at Ge(001) surface at 78 K. For this investigation, we prepared nearly defect-free Ge(001) surface by keeping the background pressure to < $1{\times}10^{-10}$ mbar during outgassing. Ge(001) surfaces this obtained exhibit a flat-band condition, and deposition of charge traps induce a distinct, sharp boundary between pinned and depinned surface area in the constant current mode STM images. We will show the tip-surface interaction plays an essential role in producing the boundary, and discuss about the conditions that enable the pinning effect.

BiPbSrCaCuO계 초전도 소결체에 산화은을 첨가하여 자기 부양 효과를 나타나는 시료의 제작 조건을 조사하였다. 2%의 산화은이 첨가된 시편에서 자기 부양 효과가 가장 효과적으로 관측되었다. toroidal자석에서 관측되는 자기 부양 효과는 자석의 중심부분에서만 발생하며, 자석의 ring부분에서는 관측되지 않았다. 이 결과는 본 연구의 자기 부양 효과의 발생에는 자석의 형상 및 자속의 분포 형태와 밀접한 관련성이 있음을 의미한다. 자기 부양 효과에 관한 측정 결과로부터 자속 밀도가 극소가 되는 장소에 초전도체가 놓이게 되면 초전도체는 반자성효과로 인하여 초전도체의 상하로부터 작용하는 자기력을 받게 된다. 또한 산화은을 첨가하지 않은 BiPbSrCaCuO계 초전도체와 2%의 산화은이 첨가된 시편의 자기부양 효과를 조사한 결과 pinning center의 역할이 중요함을 알 수 있다.

Measurements across single grain boundaries in YBCO thin films and bulk bicrystals have been used to demonstrate the influence of grain boundary structure on the critical current carried across the grain boundary. In particular, we show that one role of grain boundary structure is to change the degree of pinning along the boundary, thereby influencing the critical current. This effect can be used to explain the large difference in critical current density across grain boundaries in thin films compared to that for bulk bicrystal. These differences illustrate the distinction between the intrinsic mechanism of coupling across the grain boundary that determines the maximum possible critical current across a boundary and the measured critical current which is limited by dissipation due to the motion of vortices.

Ultra fine MgO particles added BSCCO tapes were fabricated by tape casting using Doctor Blade Method and enclosed by silver foil for different starting compositions (that is, 2223 major, 2212 major). In order to obtain optimum microstructure, thermomechanical treatment was done. Microstructure and phase were analyzed by XRD, SEM and DTA. The critical current density was measured under magnetic field at 77K. The tapes fabricated from the precursor powder with BSCCO-2223 phase (>90%) result in a microstructure with a larger grain size and higher transport critical current density value under magnetic field at given thermomechanical treatment conditions.

Friction stir processing (FSP), developed based on the basic principles of friction stir welding(FSW), a solid-state joining process originally developed for various metal alloys, is an emergingmetalworking technique that can provide localized modification and control of microstructures in near-surface layers of processed metallic components. The FSP causes intense plastic deformation, material mixing, and thermal exposure, resulting in significant microstructural refinement, densification, and homogeneity of the processed zone. The FSP technique has been successfully used for producing the fine-grained structure and surface composite, modifying the microstructure of materials, and synthesizing the composite and intermetallic compound in situ. In this review article, the current state of the understanding and development of FSP is addressed.

Change in damping capacity with strain amplitude was studied in Mg-Al-Si alloy in as-cast, solution-treated and aged states, respectively. The as-cast microstructure of the alloy is characterized by eutectic ${\beta}$($Mg_{17}Al_{12}$) phase and Chinese script type $Mg_2Si$ particles. The solution treatment dissolved the ${\beta}$ phase into the matrix, while the aging treatment resulted in the distribution of continuous and discontinuous type ${\beta}$ precipitates. The solution-treated microstructure showed better damping capacity than as-cast and aged microstructures both in strain-dependent and strain-independent damping regions. The decrease in second-phase particles which weakens the strong pinning points on dislocations and distribution of solute atoms in the matrix, would be responsible for the enhanced damping capacity after solution treatment.
