The fabrication of Y-Ba-Cu-O films and experimental factors affecting to characteristics of films are studied in detail. Superconducting thick films are fabricated by the screen printing method. The metal-citrate precursors are obtained simply by mixing of metal nitrate with citric acid. The particle size of heat treated powders is approximately 0.3-1${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and the thickness of film is estimated as 30-35${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. According to the XRD analysis, the films sintered at 870-93$0^{\circ}C$ for 10min. -6hr with P(oxygen)=1atm has the unique orthorhombic crystal symmetry indicating the 123 phae. Tc, onset is determined around 92-87。K, but it shows semiconducting behavior probably due to the oxygen deficiency in the lattice, porosity and impurities in films. Extrapolated Tc, zero is estimated as 76-50。K. For films sintered at 90$0^{\circ}C$ for 1hr, superconducting properties are observed with the room temperature resistivity of 0.025$\Omega$.cm Tc, onset at 88。K and Tc, zero at 63。K.

The spatial resolution of $high-T_{c}$ scanning SQUID microscope is limited by the washer size of SQUID and the gap distance between SQUID sensor and the sample. In this work, we tried to improve the spatial resolution of scanning SQUID microscope by reducing the size of SQUID sensor fabricated with $YBa_2$$Cu_3$$O_{7}$ thin film. Outer dimensions of the SQUiDs we tested are 24 $\mu\textrm{m}$ $\times$ $ 28\mu\textrm{m}$, $12 \mu\textrm{m}$ $\times$ $16\mu\textrm{m}$, $12\mu\textrm{m}$ x $12\mu\textrm{m}$, $10 \mu\textrm{m}$ $\times$ $10 \mu\textrm{m}$ each. To operate them in the flux-locked loop scheme, we used a direct-coupled electronics instead of using conventional electronics involving a modulation scheme. Since the direct-coupled feedback scheme does not require modulation current adjustment that poses as a practical difficulty in the SQUID operation in modulation-scheme, the direct feedback operation is rather simpler than the conventional modulation method. The resulting noise features were dominated by the noise of preamp in FLL electronics except that of the largest SQUID. The noise levels of SQUIDs are expected below 1$\times$$10^{-5}$ $\Phi_{0}$H $z^{1}$2/ (at 300 Hz), that is a typical noise level for SQUID made of $YBa_2$C $u_3$$O_{7}$ thin film. The data acquisition and motion-controlling parts were also improved, resulting in faster data acquisition rate and less vibration of the system.m.

초전도체의 임계온도를 높이는 연구들이 수행되어 임계온도가 액체질소의 비등점(77K)보다 높은 산화물 고온 초전도체가 1986년에 발견되었고, 최근에는 $10^4A/cm^2$이상의 임계전류밀도를 갖는 덩어리형 고온 초전도체가 용융공정을 통해 개발되었으며, 산화물 고온 초전도체 $YBa_2 Cu_3 O_{7-y}$은 산소 조성이 7에 가까우며 임계온도가 95K로서 현재 가장 많이 사용되고 있다. 응용 분야로서는 수송분야, 의료분야, 전력분야, 그리고 기초과학분야등이 있고, 향후 상온 초전도체의 출현으로 인한 응용범위의 확대는 획기적일 것으로 예측되어 진다. 이중에 10$^{-8}$이하의 마찰계수를 갖는 초전도 마그네틱 베어링을 플라이휠 같은 에너지 저장장치에 적용시키는 연구가 국내외적으로 진행되고 있다. 여러 선진국에서는 용융공정된 초전도체를 이용하여 실험단계적인 플라이휠의 설계, 제작 및 성능실험을 진행중이거나 완성하였고, 제2단계 목표로서 실용화를 위한 대규모 플라이휠의 설계와 제작에 대한 연구가 진행중이다.

$YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-\delta}$ 단일 타게트를 사용하여 R. F. 마그네트론 스퍼터링법으로 MgO(100), Si(100)기판 위에 박막을 증착한 후, $880^{\circ}C$의 산소 분위기에서 1시간 동안 열처리를 하였다. 열처리 전 박막의 미세한 조성변화에 의해서도 열처리 후 박막의 미세구조 및 전기적 특성은 크게 변화했다. MgO(100)기판의 표면에 성장되는 입자들은 선택 배향적으로 성장하려는 경향을 가지므로 가늘고 길쭉한 입자 형상을 띠는 반면에 이들 입자위에 성장되는 다른 입자들은 결정 성장 방향의 선호도가 없으므로 둥근 모양의 입자형상을 가진다. 열처리 전 박학의 조성이 1-2-3을 벗어나면 증착 후 열처리할 때 액상이 형성되며, 액상의 양이 많을수록 선택 배향적 성장이 용이해져 texture를 쉽게 이룬다. 그러나 이러한 액상은 냉각 시에 초전도입자의 입계에 이차상으로 형성되기 때문에 초전도 박막의 전기적 특성, 특히 임계온도를 저하시킨다. 또한 $T_{c,\;zero}$는 $T_{c,\;on}$에 비해서 입계에 형성되는 이차상의 영향을 더 크게 받는다.

Superconducting four-element patch array antenna was designed and fabricated using $high-T_{c}$ superconducting (HTS) thin film. The array antenna has single-feed circularly polarization and a resonance frequency of 11.85 GHz fur satellite communication system. To fabricate this antenna $YBa_2$$Cu_3$$O_{7-x}$(YBCO) superconducting thin films were deposited using rf-magnetron sputtering technique. Sequential rotation technique based on radiation elements($0^{\circ}$ , $90^{\circ}$, 1$80^{\circ}$, $270^{\circ}$ phase delay) was utilized to achieve circularly polarization. Simulated and measured results, the analysis on resonant frequency(fr), return loss, and bandwidth are presented. The results show that 10 dB return loss bandwidth of the array antenna is 11.04 GHz~12.59 GHz (13.15%) and 3dB axial ratio bandwidth is 11.42~12.52 GHz (9.2%).).).

We have grown superconducting thin films on various substrates using a pulsed laser deposition (PLD) method. $YBa_2Cu_3O_7-\delta$ (YBCO) superconducting thin films with the superconducting transition temperature ($T_{c. offset}$) of 87K were grown on Si substrates using yittria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) and $CeO_2$ double buffer layers. We have developed a large area pulsed laser deposition system. The system was designed to deposit up to 6 different materials on a large area substrate up to 7.5cm in diameter without breaking a vacuum. The preliminary runs of the deposition of YBCO superconducting thin films on $SrTiO_3$ substrate using this system showed a very uniform thickness profile over the entire substrate holder area. $T_{c}$ of the deposited YBCO thin film, however, was scattered depending on the position and the highest value was 85K.

[ $YBa_{2}Cu_{3}O_y$ ] superconducting films were prepared on $LaAlO_3$(100) single crystal substrate by spray pyrolysis method. The precursor solution was prepared by dissolving nitrate powders in de-ionized water. Both of ultrasonic and concentric nebulizers were used in order to generate fine droplets of precursor solution. C-axis oriented films were obtained at deposition temperature of $750\~850^{\circ}C$ and working pressure of 100 Torr and 500 Torr. In case of ultrasonic nebulizer, films showed rough and porous surface morphology due to formation of enormous droplets, while smooth and dense films were obtained for concentric nebulizer. A transport $J_c$ value of $0.43\;MA/cm^2$ at 77 K and self field was achieved on $LaAlO_3$(100) single crystal substrate.

We designed wideband HTS antennas which consists of two triangle -radiation patches using a $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-X}$ (YBCO) superconducting thin film. The major limitation of high-Tc superconducting (HTS) microstrip antennas is the narrow bandwidth due to the high Q and thin substrate. Defining bandwidth as the frequency range over which standing wave ratio (SWR) 2:1 or less, HTS antenna bandwidths are typically 0.85 % to 1.1 %. Thus considerable effort has been focused on developing antennas for broadband operation. To calculate input impedance and design of the broadband HTS antennas a moment method technique was used. The HTS antenna fabricated in this work was designed for K-band, which is useful band for satellite to satellite communications. The bandwidth obtained was a significant 6.7 % and the other measured performance of our HTS antenna, including the bandwidth, radiation Pattern, efficiency, standing wave ratio (SWR) and return losses was reported.

Pulsed laser ablation has been used to fabricate superconducting $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$(YBCO) thin films on MgO substrates. The epitaxial YBCO thin films were grown at $750^{\circ}C$ and oxygen partial pressure of 200 mTorr. The electrical property and the characteristics of the YBCO thin films have been studied by R-T measurement. scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). A microstrip line resonator has been fabricated using YBCO superconducting thin films by photolithography and wet-etch process. The resonator has linear microstrip line separated by a gap of 0.278 mm. We observed a fundamental resonance peak at the frequency of 10.007 GHz.
