We investigated the effect of Nb substitution for Ru on the structural and magnetic properties of $(Ru_{1-x}Nb_x)\;Sr_2(Sm_{1.4}Ce_{0.6})Cu_2O_z$ Samples. X-ray diffraction measurements indicated that nearly single-phase samples are formed in the range from x = 0 to 1.0. The superconducting transition temperature determined from the inflection in the field-cooled magnetic susceptibility decreased only slightly from $T_c$ = 25 K for x = 0 to $T_c$ = 22 K for x = 1.0, in consistent with the change in room temperature thermopower of the samples. However, the Nb substitution for Ru above x = 0.25 significantly suppressed the weak ferromagnetic component of the field-cooled magnetic susceptibility. It was also found that the Nb substitution for Ru results in an enhanced diamagnetic susceptibility with Nb content above x = 0.5 in both zero field-cooled and field-cooled magnetization measurements, in contrast to the behavior of the samples with $x{\leq}0.5$ in which the diamagnetic susceptibility decreases as the Nb content increases.

Single-crystal like $MgB_2$ thin film was grown on (000l) $Al_2O_3$ substrate by using hybrid physical-chemical vapor deposition (HPCVD) system. Single crystal properties were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the (0001) $MgB_2$ peak is $15^{\circ}$, which is very close to that has been reported for $MgB_2$ single-crystal. It indicates that the crystalline quality of thin film is good. Temperature dependence on resistivity was investigated by physical property measurement system (PPMS) in various applied fields from 0 to 9 T. The upper critical field ($H_{c2}$) and irreversibility field ($H_{irr}$) were determined from PPMS data, and the estimated values are comparable with that of $MgB_2$ single-crystals. The thin film shows a high critical temperature ($T_c$) of 40.4 K with a sharp superconducting transition width of 0.2 K, and a high residual resistivity ratio (RRR=21), it reflects that $MgB_2$ thin film has a pure phase structure.

We fabricated Bi-2212/$SrSO_4$ composite superconductors and evaluated the effects of the powder mixing method and melting temperature on their microstructure and superconducting properties. The Bi-2212 powders were mixed with $SrSO_4$ by hand-mixing (HM) and planetary ball milling (PBM) and then the powder mixtures were melted at $1100^{\circ}C{\sim}1200^{\circ}C$, solidified, and annealed. We found that the powder mixture prepared by PBM was finer and more homogeneously mixed than that prepared by HM, resulting in more homogeneous microstructure and smaller $SrSO_4$ and second phases after annealing.

We investigated the relation between the Cu-O bond length and the superconducting properties of $BaSnO_3$ (BSO)-added $GdBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$ (GdBCO) thin films by using extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy. 4 wt.% $BaSnO_3$ (BSO) added $GdBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$ (GdBCO) thin films with varying thickness from $0.2{\mu}m$ to $1.0{\mu}m$ were fabricated by using pulsed laser deposition (PLD) method. The transition temperature ($T_c$) and the residual resistance ratio (RRR) of the GdBCO films increased with increasing thickness up to $0.8{\mu}m$, where the crystalline BSO has the highest peak intensity, and then decreased. This uncommon behaviors of $T_c$ and RRR are likely to be created by the addition of BSO, which may change the ordering of GdBCO atomic bonds. Analysis from the Cu K-edge EXAFS spectroscopy showed an interesting thickness dependence of ordering behavior of BSO-added GdBCO films. It is noticeable that the ordering of Cu-O bond and the transition temperature are found to show opposite behaviors in the thickness dependence. Based on these results, the growth of BSO seemingly have evident effect on the alteration of the local structure of GdBCO film.

Spin-Peierls(SP) 전이를 하는 CuGeO3에서 Cu 이온과 Ge 이온을 자성 이온인 Fe 이온으로 일부 치환시킨 Cu1-xGe1-yFex+yO3계를 제조하여 전이온도 전후에서 자기적 특성과 결정학적 특성의 변화를 밝히기 위하여 자기감수율과 Mossbauer 스펙트럼을 측정 분석하였다. 결정구조는 모든 시료가 직방정계(orthorhombic)였고 격자 상수는 Fe의 치환량이 증가할수록 a축과 c축만 약간 감소하였다. 온도를 내리면서 측정한 자기감수율의 값이 12.5K 근처에서 급격히 감소하는 SP 전이를 나타냈는데 이 온도는 Fe의 치환량이 많아질수록 약간씩 낮아졌다. Mossbauer 스펙트럼은 Fe3+ 이온에 의한 두 개의 Zeeman sextet와 한 개의 이중선이 중첩되어 나타났는데 특히 SP 전이 온도(Tsp)에서 Mossbauer변수들이 불연속이었다. 즉, Tsp이하에서 두 번째 Zeeman선의 자기장이 크게 증가했고 이중선의 사중극자 분열값(QS)과 이성질체 이동값(IS)도 증가했는데, 이를 Tsp에서 이중체 형성에 따른 이온들의 위치 이동 계산 결과와 비교하여 초교한 상호작용, 대칭성 및 공유 결합성 등의 변화와 관련시켜 해석하였다.

High temperature superconductor $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$ (YBCO) films have been grown by in-situ electron beam evaporation on artificial metal tapes such as ion-beam assisted deposition (IBAD) and rolling assisted biaxially textured substrates (RABiTS). Deposition rate of the YBCO films is $10{\sim}100{\AA}/sec$. X-ray diffraction shows that the films are grown epitaxially but have inter-diffusion phases, like as $BaZrO_3\;or\;BaCeO_3$, at their interfaces between YBCO and yttrium-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) or $CeO_2$, respectively. Secondary ion mass spectroscopy depth profile of the films confirms diffused region between YBCO and the buffer layers, indicating that the growth temperature ($850{\sim}900^{\circ}C$) is high enough to cause diffusion of Zr and Ba. The films on both the substrates show four-fold symmetry of in-plane alignment but their width in the -scan is around $12{\sim}15^{\circ}$. Transmission electron microscopy shows an interesting interface layer of epitaxial CuO between YBCO and YSZ, of which growth origin may be related to liquid flukes of Ba-Cu-O. Resistivity vs temperature curves of the films on both substrates were measured. Resistivity at room temperature is between 300 and 500 cm, the extrapolated value of resistivity at 0 K is nearly zero, and superconducting transition temperature is $85{\sim}90K$. However, critical current density of the films is very low, ${\sim}10^3A/cm^2$. Cracking of the grains and high-growth-temperature induced reaction between YBCO and buffer layers are possible reasons for this low critical current density.

Sol-gel법으로 고온 초전도체인 $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-{\sigma}}$의 세선을 제작하였다. Y, Ba, Cu 질산염을 1:2:3의 몰비로 수용액을 제조한 후 구연산 수용액을 첨가하고, 암모니아 수용액을 첨가하여 pH를 $5.8{\sim}6.2$로 조절함으로써 균일한 colloid sol을 제조할 수 있었다. 이를 358K 로 가열하면 점차 점도가 증가하면서 gel화 반응이 진행되고 이 gel화 반응이 완결되기 전에 구연산염 precursor gel fiber를 임의의 길이 및 두께로 뽑을 수 있었다. 이 precursor를 1223K, $Po_2$=1atm. 하에서 8시간 열처리한 후 723K로 서냉하고 13시간 동안 annealing 하여 약 95K에서 전기저항이 급격히 감소($T_c$, onset), 약 82K에서는 저항 0($T_c$, offset)을 나타내었고 액체질소 비등점에서 Meissner-effect를 보임으로써 초전도체 임을 확인하였다.

$MgB_2$ 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 $MgB_2$.

$CeO_2$를 첨가한 Y-Ba-Cu-0 초전도체를 포정반응을 포함한 준용용법으로 제조하여 미세조직과 초전도성을 관찰하였다. 첨가한 $CeO_2$는 포정반응중에 $BaCeO_3$로 변화하였으며, 이 $BaCeO_3$는 방향성 성장한 1-2-3 초전도상의 기지에 미세하게 분산된다. 초전도체의 $T_{c}$는 첨가된 $CeO_2$함량에 관계없이 90K 이상으로 매우 높았다. 이는 준용융공정을 적용함으로서 제2상물질을 초전도상으로부터 분리할 수 있었기 때문으로 사료된다.

Fluorine-doped YBaS12TCuS13TOS17-xTFS1yT superconducting materials with y varing two orders of magnitude form 0.02 to 2.0 have been prepared by a sol-gel process by using metal nitrate salts, sodium hydroxide and sodium fluoride. Fluorine contents have been measured using an ion-selective electrode. All fluorine doped as reactant were found to be present in the resulted samples. From the observation of XRD it has been concluded that the samples with y 0.2 formed simply the single phase of perovskite structure, whereas those with y 0.5 yielded together some compounds such as BaFS12T, YFS13T and CuO in the resulted samples. The observation of solid state S019TF NMR has been carried out in order to check whether fluorine was actually incorporated into the lattice sites, and the experimental results revealed that the mole ratio of fluorine incorporated into the lattice sites of YBaS12TCuS13TOS17-xT was approximately 0.2 per mole of the compound. Also electrical resistivity measurement indicated that onset transition temperature has the tendency to increase slightly with increasing y in the dilute region as y 0.2.
