The single layer direct-coupled YBCO SQUID magnetometers have been fabricated and characterized for the purpose of the measurement of weak magnetic signals in unshielded environment. Two types of magnetometers have been designed and fabricated using 10 mm$\times$ 10 mm substrates. We could operate the conventional 3-mm-wide solid pickup loop magnetometers more stably than the 12-parallel-line pickup loop magnetometers in laboratory environment. We developed a first-order electronic gradiometer system using the SQUID sensors with axial displacement of 80 mm without any mechanical alignment of magnetometers. The system with a software filter using calculation of discrete Fourier transform could record clearly weak pulse signal of 100 pT in a magnetically disturbed environment.

SrTiO3(100) 단결정을 3keV 아르곤이온으로 에칭하면 표면원소의 산화 상태가 환원되고 표면의 거칠기가 증가하는 것이 XPS와 SEM으로 측정되었다. 그러나 3keV의 산소이온으로 에칭하면 표면원소 의 화학적 상태도 변하지 않고 표면도 평탄한 상태로 계속 유지된다. 산소 이온에 의하여 에칭된 SrTiO3 기판상에 off-axis rf 스퍼트링 방법으로 성장된 YBa2Cu3Ox 박막이 아르곤 이온에 의하여 에칭 된 SrTiO3 기판상에 성장된 YBa2Cu3Ox 박막보다 높은 Tc,zero and Jc를 보여주었다. 이논문은 YBCO초전 도 박막의 성장과 전자공학적 활용을 위한 리토그라피 공정에서 이온밀링 공정의 조건은 매우 주의하여 선택되어야 함을 보여준다.

The high temperature superconducting bulk can be used as the bearing of a motor. This paper presents the fabrication and test results of a motor with superconducting bearing using HTS bulks. The bearing used four hexahedron type YBCO bulks. Height, width and depth of the HTS bulk were 10mm, 30mm and 30mm, respectively. Single phase induction motor was used to drive the shaft and solid rotor was adopted for high speed rotation. Test results show the motor with HTS magnetic bearing can rotate silently and smoothly without any contact.

Excimer laser has been used to fabricate superconducting YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$\sub$7-x/(YBCO) thin films on various substrates. An XeCl excimer laser with an wavelength of 308 nm was used to deposit both buffer layer and superconducting thin film on sapphire substrate. The characterizations of the interface between thin film and substrate were performed. The interfacial properties of thin films on buffered sapphire and on bare sapphire were compared. With a 20 nm PrBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$\sub$7-x/(PBCO) buffer layer, no diffusion layer was observed between film and substrate while the diffusion layer with about 30 nm thickness was observed between film and sapphire without buffer layer.

Superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) provides the effect such as enhancement in power system reliability due to limiting fault current in a few miliseconds. The flux-lock type SFCL among various type SFCLs consists of two coils wound on the same iron core and a component using the YBCO thin film. In the SFCL, operation characteristics can be controlled by adjusting the inductances and the winding directions of the coils. In this paper, we investigated the various fault current limiting characteristics according to the voltage level. To analyze the current limiting performance, we compared operational characteristics on the subtractive polarity winding direction on in case of open-loop iron core.

We investigated the effects of residual gas partial pressure on the property of a CeO$_2$ buffer layer on a textured Ni tape, where the buffer layer was deposited by e-beam evaporation. The oxygen partial pressure were varied from 10$^{-7}$ to 10$^{-4}$ Torr. we also changed the surface condition for the surface oxygenation. We'll describe the detail of the resultant textures of the buffer layers and effects of YBCO growth on them

For limitation and interruption of short circuit currents from low voltage to extra high voltage applications, the electrical equipment including fuses and circuit breakers, are widely used today. But in order to anticipate increasing needs for effective and competitive device for limiting the growing fault current in electrical power systems, fault current limitation technologies and fault current limitation devices are widely introduced and investigated in these days. Furthermore, the applications of high temperature superconducting materials (HTSC) into the current limiting devices are new approach for developing of novel and effective col-rent limitation electrical equipment. In this research, the necessities of current limitation technology and the developed and developing current limitation devices for power systems are introduced. Finally, the investigation of resistive type fault current limiters which is under development by LG and KEPCO were introduced.

Cube-textured Ni substrates for YBCO coated conductors were fabricated by cold-rolling and annealing of Ni powder compacts. To establish the optimum sintering temperature, tensile test was performed for the Ni rod sintered at various temperatures. The Ni rods prepared at above 100$0^{\circ}C$ showed good mechanical properties due to the complete densification of the Ni rods. The Ni rods were rolled to final thickness of 100 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and then annealed at 100$0^{\circ}C$ for various annealing time for texture development. The texture analysis made by 2 $\theta$ scan and pole-figure showed that the cube texture was developed in a short time of a few munitues. The FWHM of in-plane and out of plane texture of the prepared Ni tapes was 8-10$^{\circ}$. The AEM surface roughness of the Ni tapes was as smooth as 3 nm.
