초록

The effect of silver oxide (14 wt.%) addition to YBCO compounds and electrophoretic deposition of composite particles prepared by solid phase reaction have been investigated. The results were compared with those for as-processed samples with YBCO films on Ag wire substrate. Our experiments show that the adhesion, microstructure changes, superconducting properties of these films is sensitive to the silver content and sintering conditions. Adding a small amount of PEG tends to remove cracks in the YBCO and (YBCO + Ag) films, which develop during the heating process. An attempt has been made to explain the experimental observations regarding variation of critical current density with the YBCO and (YBCO + Ag) films.
