In this report, a new process for patterning of YBaCuO thin films, ICP(inductively coupled plasma) method, is described by comparing with existing wet etching method. Two 100㎛ wide and 2mm long YBaCuO striplines on LaAlO$_3$ substrates have been fabricated using two patterning techniques. And the properties were compared with the critical temperature and the SEM photography. Then, the critical temperatures of two samples were about 88 K, but the cross section of sample using ICP method was shaper than that using the wet etching method. ICP method can be used as a good etching technique process for patterning of YBaCuO superconductor.

We have fabricated an in-plane aligned a-axis oriented YBa2Cu3O7-x (a-YBCO) thin film on a LaSrGaO4(100) substrate with a PrBa2Cu3O7-x(PBCO) template layer by two step plused laser deposition using 308 nm XeCl excimer laser. A YBCO layer and PBCO layer grown at low temperatures were used as template layers. We have investigated the effect of the deposition temperature of template layers on the superconducting and struc-tural properties of in-plane aligned a-YBCO thin films. An optimal deposition temperature of the PBCO template layers was 630. In-plane aligned a-YBCO thin films showed an anisotropy ratio in resistivity of 11.5 and a zero resistance temperature of 88 K.

YBaCuO oxide superconductor-shows superconductive at Liquid Nitrogen temperature-must be preparate wire or thin film form for utility. The wiring is possible with heat treatment after appropriate mixture of polymeric binder and YBaCuO oxide superconductor has fabricated. This study, analyzed the characteristics of fabricated superconductor and extruded wire after application to each of a mixed at different rate in the superconductor and compared with an original pure sample. From the result, we knew that the binder component influences superconducting characteristics. The best condition for superconductivity occurred at a criticla temperature of 86.4K (8:2 rate) and at a critical current density of 100.27A/cmy with a binder packing ratio of about 20~25 percent.

Effect of the laser shot number on the particulates density of the pulsed laser deposited YBa2Cu3O7-x thin films and the laser irradiated surface morphology of the YBa2Cu3O7-x bulk target have been investigated. Until 100 laser shots of cumulative irradiation, the films has the particulates density of ~103 mm-2. However, after 100 laser shots, the density was increased more than 10 times. This results has been explained by the change of particulate ejection path with the development of conical structure at the target surface.

High-Tc YBa2Cu3O7-x superconducting thin films have been prepared by single-target off-axis RF magnetron sputtering. Optimal ratio of Y : Ba : Cu of the single-target was determined as 1 : 1.65 : 3.35 in order to obtain the stoichiometric films. Tc, crystalline phase, and microstructures of the surface and cross-section of the ex-situ YBa2Cu3O7-x thin films on MgO(100) had a Tc, zero of 80K, and the films on LaAlO3/Si had a Tc, on-set of 90 K and a Tc, zero of 70 K.

본 연구에서는 rf magnetron 스퍼터링으로 (100) 사파이어 기판에 퇴적시킨 YBa$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$$O_{7-x}$박막을 열처리하기 위하여 급속 열처리 방법을 사용하였다. XRD, AES, 그리고 4단자 비저항 측정법을 사용하여 급속 열처리로 형성시킨 초전도체 박막과 기판사이의 상호확산을 조사하였다. 제조된 박막은 91K에서 Tc(onset)를 80K에서 Tc(zero)를 나타내었다. AES 분석 결과, 급속 열처리 방법의 경우 YBa$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$$O_{7-x}$ HTS 박막과 기판사이의 계면에서 항호확산이 감소되는 것을 확인하였다. XRD 분석 결과, 급속 열처리에 의해 형성된 HTS 박막은 주로 c-축이 기판의 표면에 수직인 구조를 가지고 있었다.

We have investigated electronic structuresof antiferromagnetic YBaCo_2O_5 using the local spin-density approximation (LSDA) + U method. The charge and orbital ordered insulating ground state is correctly obtained with the strong on-site Coulomb interaction. Co^{2+} and Co^{3+} ions are found to be in the high spin (HS) and intermediate spin (IS) state, respectively. The tetragonal to orthorhombic structural transition is responsible for the ordering phenomena and the spin states of Co ions. The large contribution of the orbital moment to the total magnetic moment indicates that the effect of the spin-orbit coupling is very important in YBaCo_2O_5.

Melt-textured growth of the YBa2Cu3O7-x phase from a supercooled melt created locally aligned, barshaped grains of the orthorhombic 1-2-3 phase. Based on all the observed phenomena, the gross mechanism of the melt-textrued growth of YBa2Cu3O7-x on the (100) plane of MgO was delineated by three basic patterns of reactions. These are : (ⅰ) formation of the aligned 1-2-3 phase and the Y-rich 2-1-1 phase at the bulk region away from the (100) plane of MgO ; (ⅱ) formation of the Cu-richprecipitates at the interfacial region by the selective interface-induced precipitation of the liquid phase ; (ⅲ) condensation reaction of the entrapped Cu-rich vapor with Mg atoms during the initial stage of rapid cooling from 130$0^{\circ}C$ to 98$0^{\circ}C$.

The preparation of $YBa_2Cu_4O_8$ thick film on Ag substrate by electrophoretic deposition was directly studied. Electrophoretic deposition was carried out in solution, which was composed of presintered $YBa_2Cu_4O_8$ powder, sodium, and 2-propanol as a solvent. The deposited thick films were heat-treated in $O_2$ at 815$^{\circ}$C for 12 hours and at 450$^{\circ}$C for 12 hours. We succeeded in obtaining superconducting $YBa_2Cu_4O_8$ films on Ag substrate. Even though the chemical reactions at the $YBa_2Cu_4O_8$/Ag interface occurred in the range of 10 ${\mu}$m, superconductivity was not depressed. The thickness of the films was in the range of 60-80 ${\mu}$ m. The characteristics of the films were examined by electric resistance measurements, X-ray diffraction, and SEM observations.

The structural, electrical and magnetic properties were investigated for the high-Tc superconductor $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$, where x was 0.13. The results of temperature dependence of the resistivity and the magnetization in $YBa_2Cu_3O_{6.87}$ whose structure and phase are confirmed by arialysis of X-ray powder diffraction pattern have been reported. A very sharp superconductivity transition appears at 92K in the specimen whose chemical composition is determined from redox titration, strongly suggesting that this specimen consists of a single-phase superconductor. From the results of X-ray diffraction analysis, magnetization curves, levitation and resistance measurements, it is suggested that the observed superconductivity is bulk property in nature and that the $YBa_2Cu_3O_{6.87}$ phase is responsible for the superconductivity of the present reproducible specimen.
