For the practical application of a YBCO superconductor bulk, the superconductor bulk magnet with high magnetic field on a large area surface should be fabricated. To make this, YBCO single crystal bulks with fine $Y_2BaCuO_5$(Y211) particles have been prepared by the top-seed melt growth(TSMG) method with $YBa_2Cu_3O_x$, $Y_2O_3$, and $CeO_2$ mixing precursor. By using $Y_2O_3$ instead of $Y_2BaCuO_5$ as precursor, the manufacturing process became simpler and more economical. The microstructures, trapped field and critical current density of the various conditioned YBCO bulks have been observed, analyzed and measured. The different characteristic values of the several samples have been analyzed from the viewpoint of their microstructures. We have developed a $8{\times}12cm$ size superconductor bulk magnet, up to 3 T class, by using the 4 T class-high field superconducting magnetizer and confirmed the applicability of the transmission level circuit breakers by measuring the strength and speed of the superconductor bulk magnet actuator.

Using the extended H$\ddot{u}$ckel molecular orbital method in connection with the tight binding model, we have studied electronic structure and related properties of superconducting $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$ crystals in which O-atoms in regular sites were selectively replaced with F atoms. The calculations are based on the crystal structure of Y-Ba-Cu-O obtained by Beno et al.. We use atomic coordinates that refer to the unrelaxed Y-Ba-Cu-O system. In analogy to the isomerism problem with molecules, we discuss all possible combinations of F-substitutions in O-sites with one, two, and four F atoms. The calculations are carried out within charged clusters model for the analogues of the YBa-free copperoxide. Our results suggest that the electronic structure of the symmetrically F-substituted or F-added compound is closer to that of the oxygen-deficient superconducting compound than that obtained from unsymmetrical substitution. This applies in particular if O is replaced with in an O(1) site. This suggests that superconductivity is very sensitive to the oxygen content of the $CuO_2$ layers.

We have fabricated good quality superconducting YBa$_2$Cu$_3$$O_{7-x}$(YBCO) thin films on Hastelloy(Ni-Cr-Mo alloys) metallic substrates with CeO$_2$and BaTiO$_3$buffer layers in-situ by pulsed laser deposition in a multi-target processing chamber. YBCO film with CeO$_2$ single buffer layer shows T$_{c}$ of 71.64 K and the grain size less than 0.1 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. When BaTiO$_3$is used as a single buffer layer, the grain size of YBCO is observed to be larger than that of YBCO/CeO$_2$by 200 times and the transition temperature of the film is enhanced to be about 84 K. CeO$_2$/BaTiO$_3$double buffer layer has been adopted to enhance the superconducting properties, which results in the enhancement of the critical temperature and the critical current density to be about 85 K and 8.4 $\times$ 10$^4$ A/cm$^2$ at 77 K, respectively mainly due to the enlargement of the grain size of YBCO film.ilm.

Effects of $BaCO_3$ purity on the superconducting properties of top seeded melt growth (TSMG) processed $Y_{1+x}Ba_2Cu_3O_{7-y}$ (Y1+x, x=0.1 and 0.2) superconductors were investigated. $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-y}$ (Y123) powder prepared using $BaCO_3$ with 99.75% purity and commercially available Y123 powder of 99.9% were used for the fabrication of single Y123 grain superconductors. $T_c$ values of the Y1+x samples prepared using low purity Y123 powder were slightly lower than those of the samples prepared using a high purity powder. In addition to the lower $T_c$, an anomalous peak effect in the intermediate magnetic fields was observed in Y1+x samples prepared using the low purity $BaCO_3$ powder. The slight decrease in $T_c$ and the anomalous peak effect are ascribed to the possible incorporation of a Y123 phase with impurity elements such as strontium and calcium included in the $BaCO_3$powder of 99.7%. The result suggests that the low purity $BaCO_3$ powder of a low price can be used as a raw power for the fabrication of single grain YBCO bulk superconductors.

초전도체를 초고주파 소자에 응용하려고 할 경우, 초전도 전자기학의 불확실함이나 초전도 기판의 돈도 의존성은 산업 응용을 위한 안테나를 제작하는데 있어 어려움을 준다. 따라서 실제 응용을 위해서는 일반 안테나와 비교하여 정확하고 자세한 특성이 알려져야만 한다. 본 논문에서는 금 안테나와 초전도 안테나의 비교 연구를 수행하였으며 반사 손실, 특성임피던스, 효율 및 다른 다양한 특성들을 보고하였다. 본 연구에 사용된 고온초전도 박막은 $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$ (YBCO)/MgO 이며 초전도 안테나는 마이크로스트립 급전선을 방사 패치의 50 ${\Omega}$ 영역에 결합시키는 형태로 만들어졌다. 금 안테나와 초전도 안테나의 측정 결과는 이러한 구조를 이용하여 유용한 안테나가 제작될 수 있음을 보여주었다.

"H" 형태의 공진기로서 이루어진 초전도 안테나는 비슷한 크기를 가진 마이크로스트립 안테나에 비하여 소형화에 유리하다. "H"형 초전도 안테나 제작을 위해 rf 마그네트론 스퍼터링을 이용하여 $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$ (YBCO)/MgO 고온초전도 박막을 제조하였으며 표준 식각법을 이용하여 안테나를 형상화 하였다. 일반 금속과의 특성을 비교하기 위해서 동일한 차원의 금 안테나가 제작되었다. 개구 결합 방식을 이용하여 초전도 안테나 패치와 $50{\Omega}$ 급전선을 임피던스 결합을 시켰다. 다양한 종류의 실험 결과가 반사손실, 공진주파수, 특성임피던스 등을 중심으로 보고되었다.

For many large-scale applications of high-temperature superconducting materials, large critical current density($J_c$) in high applied magnetic fields are required. A number of methods have been reported to introduce artificial pinning centers(APCs) in $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-\delta}$(YBCO) films for enhancement of their $J_c$. In this work, we investigated electric characteristic of YBCO films on $SrTiO_3$ (100) substrates whose surfaces were modified by the introduction of Au nanoparticles (AuNPs). Au nanoparticles were uniformly dispersed on STO substrates with one of typical solution techniques, self assembled monolayer. After heating the STO substrates with Au nanoparticles, the size of Au nanoparticles was around 29~32 nm in height and 41~49 nm in diameter. XRD diffraction patterns taken on the YBCO film with Au nanoparticles show the c-axis orientation. The measured $T_c$ of YBCO /AuNPs films was around 89K and the $J_c$ was 0.75 MA/$cm^2$ at 65 K and 1 T.

We performed Raman spectroscopy on two different over-doped Bi₂Sr₂CaCu₂O_8+x (BSCCO), of which superconducting transition temperatures are 89 K and 77 K. Line-shape analysis of the Raman-spectrum was done, focused on B_1g bond buckling mode which have drawn a lot of attention, since photoemission studies showed an evidence for strong coupling between the mode and electron. The line-shapes show asymmetry and are well fitted by the Fano line-shape formula. Remarkably, we found that the peak line-widths from B_1g bond buckling mode in BSCCO show much broader than those in YBa₂Cu₃O_7-x. The broad line width can be attributed to the superstructure modulation of BSCCO. Our results imply that B_1g bond buckling mode may have close relation to the origin of superconductivity or to boosting the superconducting transition temperature in BSCCO.
