Abstract
The ceramics superconductor may have a high degree of homogeneity and a more open structure through which atoms can easily diffuse without having to overcome the high activation barrier. Infrared detectors of ceramic superconductor materials have been studied. Ceramic superconductor have smaller reflection coefficient than metal superconductor and therefore infrared light can more easily penetrate into bulks. YBCO thick films show sensitivity of 250 V/W. The accumulation of particles decrease the superconducting energy gap.
