Post-firing process of electronic ceramic, such as electroding and encapsultion with resin, often causes damage by thermal shock. The thermal shock behavior of $BaTiO_3$ ceramics was investigated by the down-quench test, where the relative strength retained is determined after the sample is quenched from an elevated temperature into a fixed temperature bath. The critical temperature drop, $\DeltaTc$, was evaluated for three kinds of sintered $BaTiO_3$ ceramics, which were formed by extrustioin, uniaxial pressing using granules, and uniaxial pressing using powders. A drastic loss in strength caused by microcracking was observed for the specimens quenched with $\DeltaT\geq150^{\circ}C$. This concentp can be adopted as a method of the quality control by monitoring the sudden drop of the strength of capacitor products after each exposure to heat.

Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O superconductor thin films were prepared on MgO and LaAlO3 substrates by MOCVD technique. The films deposited on MgO and LaAlO3 substrates became superconducting at 64 K and 70 K respectively. The measured critical current density of thin film deposited on LaAlO3 substrate was around 104 A/$\textrm{cm}^2$. After annealing at $700^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours, the critical transition temperature(Tc) of films deposited on LaAlO3 was changed from 70 K to 74 K.

Thin films of YB $a_{2}$C $u_{3}$$O_{7-x}$ supercondYB $a_{2}$C $u_{3}$$O_{7-x}$uctor were prepared on (100) SrTi $O_{3}$ substrates by pulsed laser deposition using visible light laser. Q-switched Nd:YAG(532 nm, 30 ns) pulsed laser was used for deposition. The effects of substrate temperature and oxygen pressure during deposition on films were studied. Critical current density of 2.93*10$^{6}$ A/c $m^{2}$ at 77K and Tc(zero)=91.7K were obtained from the film prepared with Tsub=745.deg. C and $P_{02}$=200 mTorr. XRD analysis showed that the grown film has c-axis normal orientation to the substrate surface and has single phase. Surface morphology of the film has been improved by interfering the plume ejected from YB $a_{2}$C $u_{3}$$O_{7-x}$ target.arget.t.

According to the trend for electric power equipment of high capacity and reduction of its size, the needs for the new high performance electric equipments become more and more important. On of the possible solution is high temperature superconducting (HTS) power application. Following the successful development of practical HTS wires, there have been renewed activities in developing superconducting power equipment. HTS equipments have to be operated in a coolant such as liquid nitrogen ($LN_2$) or cooled by conduction-cooling method such as using Gifford-McMahon (G-M) cryocooler to maintain the temperature below critical level. In this paper, the dielectric strength of unfilled epoxy and filled epoxy in $LN_2$ was analyzed. The filled epoxy composite not only compensates for this fragile property but enhances its dielectric strength.

The goal of the research is to study and describe a new stressed state of High Temperature Superconducting (High-Tc) YBCO Films, to create of SQUIDs (Superconducting Quantum Interference Device) on the bases of these Films with maximal sensitivity. The experimental investigation of the stressed films grown by laser ablation method and its properties, the fabrication of the dc-SQUIDs with maximal sensitivity on the bases of the stressed YBCO films were carried out. The stressed film having the value of the critical current density $J_{c}=3{\cdot}10^{5}A/cm^{2}$ was the more stable than others.

The effects of Au addition on the structure and the superconducting properties of Bi system bulk have been investigated. Au exists in the metalic form in above materials. It does not affect the formation and structure of the BiSrCaCuO(2223) phase. The superconducting transition temperature Tc does not change for $Bi_{1.7}Pb_{0.3}Sr_2Ca_2Cu_3O$ composite However Au doping can make the grains smaller. Metallic Au can make gathers on the grains boundary and lead to the increment of critical transport current density. The current density of $Bi_{1.7}Pb_{0.3}Sr_2Ca_2Cu_3Au_{0.5}O$ was 1000A/$cm^2$ at liquid nitrogen temperature.

Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O superconducting system have the low and high Tc phases. In order to get the superconductor above crtitical temperature 100K, we added with Pb and sintered for a long time about 200 hrs. In this study, the influence of superconducting characteristics on the Bi(Pb)SrCaCuO system characteristics on the Bi(Pb)SrCaCuO system dopped Sb was investigate too. Adding Sb of 0.1 mol, the sintering time is short than that dopped Pb only. We could get the critical temperature 102 K at sintered for 24 hrs and 109 K for 210 hrs.

The important merit of Bi-2212/Ag wire is to apply cable as round wire state. Bi-2212 high Tc superconducting wires were fabricated in order to apply Rutherford cable near the future. Various Ag ratio from 0.22 to 0.42 of Ag tubes for PID (powder-In-Tube) process were used to investigate the workability and to prevent breakage of filaments during drawing. In order to find proper heat treatment condition, we investigated micro-structure of Bi-2212/Ag wires by using differential thermal analysis, XRD and SEM. The effect of atmosphere on the peritectic decomposition temperature of precursor was investigated. The shape of grain was observed by SEM to investigate Bi-2212 phase formation in filaments. The higher of Ag ratio of mono filament had the higher critical current density, Jc. The wire with 0.42 of Ag ratio showed 7,886 A/cm2 of Jc at 77K.

CeO$_2$ buffer layers and in-situ YSa$_2Cu_3O_{7-{\delta}}$ (YBCO) thin films were grown by pulsed laser deposition method on R-plane sapphire substrates. Superconducting properties and surface morphologies of YBCO thin films exhibit strong dependence on the crystallinity of CeO$_2$ buffer layer. The best a-axis oriented CeO$_2$ buffer layers could be grown at 800 $^{\circ}C$ of deposition temperature, 1.5 J/ cm$^2$ of laser energy density and 50 mTorr of oxygen pressure. The YBCO thin films on the a-axis CeO$_2$ buffer layer have Tc (R=0) ${\ge}$ 89.5 K, ${\delta}$Tc ${\sim}$ 0.5 K, and Jc ${\ge}$ 3.2 ${\times}$ 10$^6$ A/ cm$^2$ at 77 K.

As-grown $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$ films on MgO(100)substrates were prepated by a reactive co-evaporation method, and effects of activated oxygen plasma on the crystallinity and superconductivity at substrate temperature ranging from $450^{\circ}C$ to $590^{\circ}C$ were investigated. The film deposited under the activated oxygen plasma at the substrate temperature of $590^{\circ}C$ had a single crystal phase. Whereas, when films were deposited under only oxygen gas, they were not in perfect single crystal phase but with slight polycrystalline nature. When the substrate temperature was $590^{\circ}C$, $Tc_{zero}$'s were 83K and 80K for films with and without activated oxygen plasma, respectively. The critical temperature, the crystal structure and the surface morphology of as-grown films were found to be insensitive to the activated oxygen plasma which is introduced during deposition instead of oxygen gas, but the crystalline quality was improved somewhat by the introduction by the introduction of actvated oxygen plasma.
