Magnetic properties of a field cooled YBaCuO superconductor beneath the toroidal permanent magnet was examined by means of improved magneto-balancing method at 77 K. Magnetic flux measurements of a toroidal magnet revealed a concave shaped field distribution with a single minimum and a null field along the axis of the torus at the point where the field reversed. The observed values of both the suspension position and the force exerted upon the superconductor specimen were in good agreement with those calculated from the magnetization curve of the specimen and the intensity of the magnetic field of the used permanent magnet.

현재 고온 초전도 응용에서 실용화가 높은 분야의 하나로 인식되고 있는 고온 초전도 안테나는 단지 연구개발방안만 제시된 기초단계로서 구체적인 연구는 거의 이루어지지 않고 있다. 더우기 기존의 기술로도 해결할 수 없는 일반 안테나의 몇가지 문제점 때문에 기술개발에 어려움이 있다. 정보산업의 급속한 발달과 함께 각종 정보가 범람하고 신속한 통신을 위한 첨단 통신 장비의 사용도 빈번해지므로 우리가 쓸 수 있는 주파수의 영역은 제한을 받게 되고 특히 이동통신 장비의 경우 전파특성 및 안테나크기등에 의하여 가용주파수의 제한은 더욱 심각해질 수 밖에 없다. 따라서 이러한 제약조건들을 극복하고 안테나의 소형화, 경량화, 고효율화 및 잡음대 신호비를 개선하기 위해서는 고온 초전도체의 이용이 절실히 요구된다. 또한 양질의 고온 초전도 박막을 이용한 우수한 박막형 안테나 개발은 차세대 정보통신의 핵심기술로 자리 잡아갈 것이 분명하므로 이 분야에 참여함으로써 높아만 가는 선진국의 고온초전도 기술 장벽에 대처할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 고온 초전도체 안테나 개발과정에서 나타나는 수동소자의 개발 파급효과는 국내의 초전도 기술 산업에 커다란 영향을 미칠 것이다.

Y-Ba-Cu-O계 보다 화학적 내구성이 좋은 Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O계 초전도체 wire를 중합 binder와 초전도체 파우더를 혼합하여 sol-gel법으로 제조하였다. 여러가지 혼합비와 열처리 조건하에서 제조한 wire의 특성분석 결과 Bi$_{2}$Sr$_{2}$Ca$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$O계 초전도체와 binder의 최적 혼합율은 22.25%이었고 가열비는 0.33.deg.C/min로 500.deg.C까지는 Ar gas와 $O_{2}$ gas분위기로 열처리하고 500.deg.C에서 835.deg.C까지는 $O_{2}$ gas분위기에서 40h동안 열처리하였을때 임계온도 98K를 갖는 초전도 선재를 얻을 수 있었다.

미국의 ASC(American Superconductor Corp.)에서는 산화물계의 고온초전도선재를 대량생산하기 위한 대규모 투자를 계획하고 있으며 지금은 금속계 초전도선재처럼 장척의 고온초전도선재도 구매할 수 있는 시대로 접어들고 있다. 고온초전도체 벌크 및 박막의 경우도 새로운 프로세스들이 계속 시도되고 최적화 연구가 성과를 거두면서 고성능, 고품질의 재료들이 제조되고 있고 이것들을 이용한 상용화 연구개발이 미국, 일본을 중심으로 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 최근 5년간의 고온초전도 분야에 대한 미국 연방정부의 연구비 투자 상황을 살펴보면 계속 증가추세에 있으며 벤처 비지니스의 민간기업들이 고온초전도체를 상용화하기 위한 많은 투자와 노력을 하고 있다. 고온초전도체는 그 사용 용도에 따라 벌크, 박막, 선재 등 다양한 형태로 만들어지고 있다. 본 고에서는 고온초전도체의 여러 연구분야 중 이론, 물성보다는 주로 응용기술적인 차원에서 재료 형태별로 최근의 연구개발 동향을 살펴보고자 한다.

Electrophoretic deposition (EPD) of alcohol YBCO suspensions on the Ag wire electrode is studied. Polyethyleneglycol was coordinated to a structure formed by the EPD process with YBCO particles. The d.c electric fields of 200-300 V/cm are applied for 1-10 min. The optimal condition for the EPD allows modifying the properties and microstructure of the deposited films. Superconducting coatings with nanometer-sized pores and a preferred orientation along the caxis were prepared from the result with chemically modified precursor solution. In contrast, YBCO coatings of submicrometer-sized pores and randomly orientated grains were prepared from the solution without PEG.

The superconducting $YBa_2Cu_4O_8$ was synthesized in oxygen condition at 1 atm. The starting material with 1 : 2 : 4 composition was obtained by pyrolysis of EDTA complex, which was converted to 1-2-3 phase during densification, followed by the 1-2-4 phase recovery at $810^{\circ}C$ . The phase presents were identified by XRD, TG, DTA and AC magnetic susceptibility. Our data indicated that considerable amounts of 1-2-4 phase formed but with the 1 : 2 : 3 phase or possibly 2-4-7 as visible. As the P($O_2$) increased with temperature, impurity peak, CuO ($2{\Theta}$ = 38.8), gradually decrease, and we conclude that the 1-2-4 phase is predominant bulk superconductor under the high oxygen pressure.

Extended Drude model has been used to obtain information of correlations from measured optical spectra of strongly correlated electron systems. The optical self-energy can be defined by the extended Drude model formalism. One can extract the optical self-energy and the electron-boson spectral density function from measured reflectance spectra using a well-developed usual process, which is consistent with several steps including the extended Drude model and generalized Allen's formulas. Here we used a reverse process of the usual process to investigate the extended Drude analysis when an additional low-energy interband transition is included. We considered two typical electron-boson spectral density model functions for two different (normal and d-wave superconducting) material states. Our results show that the low-energy interband transition might give significant effects on the electron-boson spectral density function obtained using the usual process. However, we expect that the low-energy interband transition can be removed from measured spectra in a proper way if the transition is well-defined or well-known.

We have fabricated a high-Tc superconductive transistor with polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) gate electrode on MgO bicrystal Josephson junction by spin-coating method. The PVDF ferroelectric film is found to be suitable fur a gate electrode of the superconductive transistor since it has not only small leakage current but also high dieletric constant at low temperature. For the application of superconducting-FET, we investigated millimeter wave properties (60 GHz band) of the Josephson junction with PVDF gate electrode.

Multi-stacked HTS wires are needed to conduct large current in the power application. In this paper, magnetization losses of the multi-stacked YBCO wire and the BSCCO wire have been measured and compared. 4 types of YBCO wires and BSCCO wires, that is, single, 2-stacked, 3-stacked and 4-stacked, have been tested. HTS multi-stacked wires were fabricated using face-to-face type stacking method. Measurements of magnetization loss were performed under various angles of external magnetic field to consider the anisotropic characteristics of HTS wires. The ratios of the magnetization loss by multiple stacking of superconducting wires were presented. Measurements results show that loss reduction ratios have three distinct regions due to the magnitude of external magnetic field, the material of HTS wire and number of stacks.

The high temperature superconducting(HTS) power cable, as a key component of the next generation power transmission system, operates cost-effectively because of much less transmission loss. Currently, a world-wide research has been undertaken actively. In this research, we designed insulation thickness and investigated thickness effect of laminated polypropylene paper(LPP) which is insulation material of HTS cable in case of AC and impulse breakdown.
