Charcoal was used as a carbon source for improving the critical current density of $MgB_2$ and the effect of annealing temperature on the $J_c$ of $MgB_2$ was investigated. The charcoal powder used in this study was $1{\sim}2$ microns in size and was prepared by wet attrition milling. $MgB_2$ bulk samples with a nominal composition of $Mg(B_{0.95}C_{0.05})_2$ were prepared by in situ process of Mg and B powders. The powder mixture was uniaxially compacted into pellets and heat treated at temperatures of $650^{\circ}C\;-\;1000^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes in flowing Ar gas. It was found that superconducting transition temperature of $Mg(B_{0.95}C_{0.05})_2$ decreased by charcoal additions which indicates the carbon substitution for boron site. $J_c$ of $Mg(B_{0.95}C_{0.05})_2$ was lower than that of the undoped $MgB_2$ at the magnetic fields smaller than 4 Tesla, while it was higher than that of the undoped sample especially at the magnetic field higher than 4 T. High temperature annealing seems to be effective in increasing $J_c$ due to the enhanced carbon diffusion into boron sites.

$MgB_2$ bulk superconductors are synthesized by the solid state reaction of ($MgB_4$+xMg) precursors with excessive Mg compositions (x=1.0, 1.4, 2.0 and 2.4). The $MgB_4$ precursors are synthesized using (Mg+B) powders. The secondary phases ($MgB_4$ and MgO) present in the synthesized $MgB_4$ are removed by $HNO_3$ leaching. It is found that the formation reaction of $MgB_2$ is accelerated when Mg excessive compositions are used. The magnetization curves of $Mg_1+_xB_2$ samples show that the transition from the normal state to the superconducting state of the Mg excessive samples with x=0.5 and x=0.7 are sharper than that of $MgB_2$. The highest $J_c-B$ curve at 5 K and 20 K is achieved for x=0.5. Further addition of Mg decreases the $J_c$ owing to the formation of more pores in the $MgB_2$ matrix and smaller volume fraction of $MgB_2$.

This study is about a connective method of High Tc wire for long wire. We prepared silver-sheathed BiPbSrCaCuO wires by the powder-in-tube method. Since the superconducting wires are ceramic, it is very hard to connect each other. In this study, we used a silver sleeve to contract wires and pressed them by various preasures. Then optimum preasure was 9,000 Kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ to get the high critical current. The higest critical current was 10A.

A prototype of solenoidal superconducting magnet using Bi-2223/Ag multi-filamentary tapes was fabricated and tested to investigate its performance. The Bi-2223/Ag tapes were prepared by powder-in-tube method. The dimensions of magnet, which was stacked with 9 double pancakes, were 90 mm in height, 74 mm in outer diameter and 40 mm in clear core. The axial maximum magnet field at the center of the solenoidal magnet was about 0.12 T, and the critical current of coil conductor was about 9 A at 77.3 K.

A well oriented Bi-2212 superconductor thick films were fabricated by screen printing with a Cu-free Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O powder on a copper plate and heat-treating at 820- $880^{\circ}C$for several minute in low oxygen pressure or are. At minute in low oxygen pressure of air. At , the printing layer partially melted by reaction between the Cu-free precursor by reaction between the Cu-free$870^{\circ}C$ precursor and CuO of the oxidizing copper plate. It is believed that the solid phase is Bi : Sr : Ca : Cu = 2 : 2 : 0 : 1. It is likely that the Bi-2212 superconducting phase is formed at Bi-2212 superconducting phase is formed at Bi-free phase/liquid interface by nucleation and grows.

We carried out the experiments for fabricating $Bi_{2}Sr_{2}Ca_{2}Cu_{3}O_{x}$(Bi2223) superconductor thick films on Cu tapes. Cu-free (Bi,Pb)-Sr-Ca-0 powder mixtures were screen- printed on Cu tapes and heat-treated at 840-$860^{\circ}C$ for several minutes in air. Surface microstructures and phases of films were analyzed by XRD and optical microscope. The electric properties of superconducting films were examined by the four probe method. At heat-treatment temperature, the printing layers were in a partially molten state by liquid reaction between CuO in the oxidized copper tape and the precursors which were printed on Cu tapes. During the heat-treatment procedure, it is thought that Bi2223 superconducting particles nucleate at interfaces between Bi2212 phase and liquid.

The effect of Ag alloy sheath have been investigated in terns of critical current density and mechanical property. Nevertheless the continuous improvement of critical current density($J_c$) of Ag sheathed Bi2223 oxide superconducting wire processed with powder in tube(PIT) method, poor mechanical strength is still considered to be demerits for power application. In this study, we prepared two kinds of Ag- x wt% Cu alloy and pure Ag sheathed Bi2223 superconducting tapes. The hardness and tensile strength of prepared tapes has been measured. Their mechanical propertes were improved by Ag alloying.

It is very important to select suspension solution for forming electrophoretic deposited YBCO thick mm, because it is heavily affected to its superconducting properties. In this paper, high-temperature superconductor films of $YBa_{2}Cu_{3}O_{7-x}$ were fabricated by electrophoretic deposition (EPD) from alcohol-based suspension such as iso-propanol, iso-butanol, and their mixture. For the formation of YBCO dense and adherent coating on a silver wire by EPD, 1 % PEG(1000) 2 ml, as a additive for making their surface crack-free, was used for electrophoresis. As a results, the cracks were considerably decreased and the superconducting critical current density $(J_e)$ without/with PEG was $1200A/cm^2$ and $2020A/cm^2$, which films deposited in mix iso-propanol and iso-butanol suspension.

We have fabricated and tested a Bi-based high temperature superconducting current lead system. Ag sheathed Bi-2223 mono-filament tapes of $I_c=8.4$ A at 77 K under self-field condition were fabricated using powder-in-tube(P1T) method. Multi-layer current leads can be made by stacking of Ag sheathed Bi-2223 mono-filament wires. The critical current of this 10-layer current lead is about 68 A. The contact resistance across the copper-current lead interface has been studied using current-voltage characteristics. At temperature below critical temperature the resistive contribution of the interface to the total contact resistance dominates. We have measured AC transport losses in a current lead at 77 K, 60 Hz by a transport method.
