The milling effects of a precursor $Y_2BaCuO_5$ (Y211) powder having 1 wt.% $CeO_2$ on the microstructure and critical current density ($J_c$) of liquid infiltration growth (LIG) processed $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-y}$ (Y-123) bulk superconductors were investigated. The microstructure analysis revealed that the Y211 size in the final Y-123 products decreased with increasing the milling time and a relatively high density and uniform distribution of Y211 inclusions were observed in the sample prepared using 8 h milled powder. However, the unexpected Y211 particles coarsening was observed from the 4 h milled sample which was further increased for 10 h milled sample. Critical current density ($J_c$) of the LIG processed Y-123 bulk superconductors was found to be dependent on the milling time of the Y211 precursor powder. The $J_c$ increased with the increase of milling time and reached up to a maximum at 8 h in the self field while 10 h milled sample showed lower $J_c$ at the same field which might be due to the exaggerated growth and non-uniform distribution of Y211 particles.

The effect of CeO$_2$ coating on the surface nucleation of the top-seeded melt-growth processed YBCO superconductors was studied. It was effective that the coating of Y123 compact surfaces by CeO$_2$ powder suppressed the undesirable subsidiary YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-y}$ (Y123) nucleation during melt processing. BaCeO$_3$ was formed in the CeO$_2$-coated layers, which might cause a CuO-excessive liquid at the partial melt stage of $Y_2$BaCuO$_{5}$(Y211) plus liquid, and thus the Y123 nucleation at the YBCO compact surfaces could be suppressed during the melt growth of Y123 grain. In addition, the CeO$_2$ refined the Y211 particles near the compact / coating interface. While the levitation forces of the top surfaces with and without CeO$_2$ coating were similar to each other, the levitation force of the interior of the CeO$_2$ coated sample was higher than that of the interior of the sample without CeO$_2$ coating, which was attributed to the suppression of subsidiary Y123 nucleation at the compact walls.s.s.

A YBCO superconductor was prepared in a short time by a melt infiltration process that utilizes meting of $Ba_3Cu5O_8$ powder and the infiltration into a porous $Y_2BaCuO_5$ compact. The processing parameters such as a reaction temperature and time, and atmosphere (air and $O_2$) were controlled to establish the fabrication condition. The formation of a $YBa_2Cu_3O_x$, phase and the developed microstructure are reported.

The structural and electric properties of $Y_{1-x}$YbF$_{x}$Ba$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$O$_{7-y}$(x=0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5 and 0.6) have been investigated by using XRD(X-ray diffraction), TMA(thennomechanical analysis), NMR(nuclear magnetic resonance) analysis and four probe method. $Y_{1-x}$YbF$_{x}$Ba$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$O$_{7-y}$ samples were prepared by conventional solid-state reaction method using $Y_{2}$O$_{3}$, BaCO$_{3}$, CuO and YbF$_{3}$ power. TMA and high temperature XRD results shows that orthorhombic to tetragonal phase transition occurs in the unfluorinated 1-2-3 sample while the phase change is not observed in the fluorinated 1-2-3 samples. Superconducting transition temperature(T$_{c}$) increases with increasing YbF$_{3}$ content ; T$_{c}$, of the sample reaching maximum of 102K for x=0.3, and then decreases with further increasing YbF$_{3}$ content. The structural analysis and T$_{c}$ results shows that the fluorine doping stabilize the orthorhombic phase, together with the increase in T$_{c}$.}$ c/.TEX> c/.

YBCO bulks with fine $Y_2BaCuO_5$(Y211) particles have been prepared by the top-seed modified powder melting process method, Solid-Liquid Melt Growth(SLMG), with $Y_2O_3$, $BaCuO_2$ and CuO mixing precursor. By using $Y_2O_3$ instead of $Y_2BaCuO_5$ as precursor, the processing became to be simpler and cheaper than the current powder melting process. The microstructures, trapped field and critical current density of the various conditioned YBCO bulks have been analyzed and the effect of Pt additive was studied. The different trapped magnetic field values of the several samples have been explained in the viewpoint of their microstructures. The fabrication of large-sized YBCO single domain has been conducted.

We are investigating epitaxially grown YBa$_2Cu_3O_x$(123) on MgO single crystal by partial melting process for high power application. After fabricating of BaCuO$_2$(011), Y$_2BaCuO_5$(211) powder, we made YBa$_2Cu_3O_x$(123) Paste with just mixing of (211), (011) and CuO(001) powders. Screen printing method was used to coat YBa$_2Cu_3O_x$(123) paste on MgO single crystal. To reduce the reaction in low temperature, rapid heating was conducted at partial melting temperature. The film was analysed with the difference of cooling-rate, thickness, reaction temperature by XRD, SEM, in-plane alignment, out-of-plane alignment, temperature-resistivity characteristics.

본 연구에서는 메탄의 부분산화반응에 미치는 base metal 의 영향을 살펴보기 위하여 6~l2wt%의 Mn, Cu, V, Co, Cr 그리고 Ba 등이 2 wt% Pt, 70 wt% Alumina, 28 wt% Ceria and Zirconia 와 함께 cordierite (2MgO.2Al$_2$O$_3$.5SiO$_2$)에 담지된 Pt-B/cordierite 촉매(B: base metal)를 사용하여 메탄의 부분산화반응 실험을 수행하였다. 메탄의 부분산화반응에 대한 활성은 Ba, Co그리고 Cr 담지 촉매는 Ni담지 촉매와 유사하게 Mn, Cu, V을 담지 했을 때 보다 우수한 것으로 나타났으나, 코크 생성에 대한 활성도 큰 것으로 나타났다. 또한 5wt% Ni/Al$_2$O$_3$촉매를 이용한 메탄의 부분산화반응 실험 후의 촉매에 대한 XRD 분석결과 Ni은 3가지 형태의 상으로 존재하는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 촉매층 전단에서는 주로 NiAl$_2$O$_4$와 NiO 형태로 존재하여 메탄의 산화반응이 일어나며, 그리고 촉매층 후단에서는 환원상태의 Ni로 존재는 것으로 보아 개질반응이 일어나는 것을 알 수 있었다.

The effects of melting temperature and holding time on the critical current density($J_c$) of $YBa_2Cu_3O_x$ based superconducting bulk fabricated by MPMG process were investigated. The amount of the formed $Y_2BaCuO_5$ phases increased with the melting temperature. However, the value of critical current density was highest at 1120 $^{\circ}C$. With this proper melting temperature, the effect of holding time on the critical characteristics was also investigated. In the case of Ag addition, the volume of the formed $Y_2BaCuO_5$ phase when the amount of Ag addition was 10 wt% and 20 wt% was observed to be highest at 20 minute and 40 minute respectively. But in the specimen without Ag, volume of $Y_2BaCuO_5$ phase increased as the holding time increased. The proper melting temperature and the holding time obtained were 1120 $^{\circ}C$ and 20 minute. The long holding time was not effective for the $J_c$ improvement as well as the formation of $Y_2BaCuO_5$.

y의 크기가 0.02에서부터 2.0까지의 두 차수만큼 변하게 불소가 첨가된 YBa$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$$O_{7-x}$F$_{y}$ 초전도물질을 금속질산염과 수산화나트륨 및 불화나트륨을 써서 졸-겔법으로 제조하였다. 불소함유양들을 이온-선택 전극을 사용하여 측정하였다. 반응물질로 첨가된 불소전부가 최종시료속에 존재한다는 것을 알았다. XRD 관측으로부터 y.leq.0.2인 시료들은 단지 단상 페로브스카이트 구조로 되었고 반면 y.geq.0.5인 것들은 최종시료속에 BaF$_{2}$ YF$_{3}$및 CuO와 같은 화합물들과 함께 생성되어져 있다고 결론지을 수가 있다. 더구나 고체 $^{19}$ F 핵자기공명관측이 불소가 정말로 격자위치들 속에 혼입되어 있는지 여부를 확인하기 위하여 행해졌는데 실험결과로부터 YBa$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$$O_{7-x}$ 격자위치속에 혼입된 불소의 몰비는 화합물 1몰당 약 0.2라는 것을 보여주었다. 또한 전기저항률의 측정은 개시감계온도가 y.leq.0.2와 같이, 지정된 첨가율이 적은 영역에서는 y의 증가에 따라 약간씩 증가하는 경향이 있음을 보여주고 있다.

$GdBa_2Cu_3O_{7-y}$(Gd123) powders were synthesized by the solid-state reaction method using $Gd_2O_3$ (99.9% purity), $BaCO_3$ (99.75%) and CuO (99.9%) powders. The synthesized Gd123 powder and the Gd123 powder with $Gd_2O_3$ addition ($Gd_{1.5}Ba_2Cu_3O_{7-y}$(Gd1.5)) were used as raw powders for the fabrication of Gd123 bulk superconductors. The Gd123 and Gd1.5 bulk superconductors were fabricated by sintering or a top-seeded melt growth (TSMG) process. The superconducting transition temperature ($T_{c,onset}$) of the sintered Gd123 was 93 K and the transition width was as large as 20 K. The $T_{c,onset}$ of the TSMG processed Gd123 was 82 K and the transition width was also as large as 12 K. The critical current density ($J_c$) at 77 K and 0 T of the sintered Gd123 and TSMG processed Gd123 were as low as a few hundreds A/$cm^2$. The addition of 0.25 mole $Gd_2O_3$ and 1 wt.% $CeO_2$ to Gd123 enhanced the $T_c$, $J_c$ and magnetic flux density (H) of the TSMG processed Gd123 sample owing to the formation of the superconducting phase with high flux pinning capability. The $T_c$ of the TSMG processed Gd1.5 was 92 K and the transition width was 1 K. The $J_cs$ at 77 K (0 T and 2 T) were $3.2{\times}10^4\;A/cm^2$ and $2.5{\times}10^4\;A/cm^2$, respectively. The H at 77 K of the TSMG-processed Gd1.5 was 1.96 kG, which is 54% of the applied magnetic field (3.45 kG).
