The concentrations of Cu(II), Y(III) and Ba(II) ionic species in aqueous solution due to the formation of Cu2+-oxalate-complex have been theoretically calculated with respect to pH and their solubility diagrams could be obtained. It was verified from the calculation that the excess of Cu2+ and Ba2+ should be added in order to obtain oxalate coprecipitates with the molar ratio of Y : Ba : Cu=1 : 2 : 3. The exact amount of excess species has been calculated with respect to the initial concentrations of metal ions and pH.

Formation of pores in melt-processed $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$ (123) oxides and its effect on the microstructure were studied. Spherical pores with a size of a few tens of microns were formed due to the evolution of oxygen gas during melting of a 123 oxide. Some of pores were converted into liquid pockets by liquid filling, but others remained unfilled. The liquid pockets were converted into spherical 123 regions with a lower $Y_2BaCuO_5$ (211)density through the peritectic reaction during subsequent cooling, while the pores were entrapped into the periteictically grown 123 grains. The spherical 123 regions often consists of a residual melt due to the unbalanced peritectically reaction.

The formation behavior of $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$(Y123) and CuO phases in the heat-treated Cu-sheathed YBCO thick films was studied. The thick films were prepared by screen-printing method using $BaCO_3$ and Y211 powders on Cu tapes. The screen-printed thick films were placed at the center of the tube furnace, heated to $930^{\circ}C$ in air atmosphere and then maintained at the temperature for 60 sec - 300 sec. The microstructure and phases formed in the thick films were investigated by using optical microscope, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and SEM image analysis. During the heat treatment, partial melting occurred rapidly in the printed layers by peritectic reaction between CuO and precursor powders, and then YBCO superconducting phases nucleated from the Cu tapes and grew in a form of thick films.

High-.ate in-situ$ YBa_2$Cu$Cu_3$$O_{7-x}$ (YBCO) film growth was demonstrated by means of the electron beam co-evaporation. Even though our oxygen pressure is low, ∼$5 ${\times}$10^{-5}$ Torr, we can synthesize as-grown superconducting YBCO films at a deposition rate of around 10 nm/s. Relatively high temperatures of around 90$0^{\circ}C$ was necessary in this process so far, and it suggests that this temperature at a given oxygen activity allows a Ba-Cu-O liquid formation along with an YBCO epitaxy. Local critical current density shows a clear correlation with local resistivity. Homogeneous transport properties with a large critical current density ($4 ∼ 5 MA/\textrm{cm}^2$ at 77K, 0T) are observed in top faulted region while it is found that the bottom part carries little supercurrent with a large local resistivity. Therefore, it is possible that thickness dependence of critical current density is closely related with a topological variation of good superconducting paths and/or grains in the film bodies. The information derived from it may be useful in the characterization and optimization of superconducting films for electrical power and other applications.

$YBa_2$$Cu_3$$O_{7-y}$ (123) 초전도체에서 은 입자의 미세분산을 얻고자 말릭산을 사용한 발화합성과 고상반응법으로 123와 123-Ag 복합 초전도분말을 제조하였다. 발화합성분말을 원료로 사용할 시 마이크론 미만의 미세한 123 분말과 은 분말의 복합체를 얻을 수 있었다. 원료로 사용된 산화은($Ag_2O$) 분말은 발화합성과정 중금속 은으로 환원되었다. 원료분말에 첨가된 금속 은에 의한 반응 물질간의 확산 촉진으로 123상이 단시간내에 생성되었고 입자성장도 촉진되었다. 발화합성법으로 제조한 시편은 기계적 혼합공정으로 제조한 시편에 비해 은 입자들은 미세하게 분산시킬 수 있어서 초전도체의 임계전류밀도가 향상되었다.

$YBa_2Cu_3O_{6+x}(Y123)-Ag$ 초전도 선재를 0/20 wt%의 은(Ag)을 첨가한 발화합성분말과 고상반응분말을 사용하여 플라스틱 압출법으로 제조하였다. 플라스틱 압출법은 분말제조, 플라스틱 paste 제조, 다이 압축, binder 소각 및 소결공정을 포함한다. 양질의 초전도체를 제조하려면 원료물질이 균질하고 미세한 분말이어야 한다. 0/20 wt%를 첨가한 $Y_2O_3-BaCO_3-CuO$ precursor 분말을 발화합성(PS)법과 고상반응(MM)법으로 제조하였다. 원료분말이 Y123 초전도상으로 전이되는 생성속도를 공기중에서 여러온도와 시간별로 반응시켜 알아보았다. 발화합성법으로 제조한 분말이 고상반응법으로 제조한 분말보다 Y123상으로 빠르게 전이되었다. 이것은 PS법으로 제조한 분말이 미세한 크기와 균질한 화학적 조성으로 인해 Y123상으로 빠른 전이를 한 것이기 때문이다. 플라스틱 압출법으로 제조한 Y123-Ag 초전도 선재의 임계전류밀도($J_c$)는 원료분말의 특징에 따라 $150{\sim}230A/cm^2$값을 나타내었다. 은을 20 wt.% 첨가한 발화합성분말로 제조한 선재의 $J_c$는 $230A/cm^2$이었다.

Using modified melt-textured grown targets, YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-{\delta}}$ thin films were prepared by pulsed laser deposition technique at the laser energy density from 1 J/cm$_2$ to 4 J/cm$_2$. All the films showed c-axis preferred orientations, however, a-axis outgrowths on the film surface were considerably increased with an increase of the laser energy density. To examine the origin of the a-axis outgrowth formation, the microstructures of films deposited at 2 J/cm$_2$ and 4 J/cm$_2$ were investigated using X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and high-resolution electron microscopy. It was shown that a significant number of Y$_2$O$_3$ inclusions were formed during the growth of c-axis oriented films at 4 J/cm$_2$. These inclusions formed nucleation sites for the a-axis outgrowths. It is considered that, due to the unstable growth conditions with a high flux density of incident vapor species and the strain induced by the surrounding c-axis films, the Y$_2$O$_3$ inclusions would prefer the nucleation of α-axis grains.

$YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-y}$ (Y123) powders for the fabrication of bulk superconductors were synthesized by the powder reaction method using $Y_2O_3$ (99.9% purity), $BaCO_3$ (99.75%) and CuO (99.9%) powders. The raw powders were weighed to the cation ratio of Y:Ba:Cu=1:2:3, mixed and calcined at $880^{\circ}C-930^{\circ}C$ in air with intermediate repeated crushing steps. It was found that the formation of Y123 powder was more sensitive to reaction temperature than reaction time. The calcined Y123 powder and a mixture of (Y123 + 0.25 mole $Y_2O_3$ + 1 wt.% $CeO_2$, $Y_{1.5}Ba_2Cu_3O_x$ (Y1.5)) were used as raw powders for the fabrication of poly-grain or single grain superconductors. The superconducting transition temperature ($T_{c,onset}$) of the sintered Y123 sample was 91 K and the transition width was as large as 11 K, whereas the $T_{c,onset}$ of the melt-grown Y1.5 sample was 90.5 K and the transition width was 3.5 K. The critical current density ($J_c$) at 77 K and 0 T of the sintered Y123 was 700 $A/cm^2$, whereas the $J_c$ of the top-seeded melt growth (TSMG) processed Y1.5 sample was $3.2{\times}10^4\;A/cm^2$. The magnetic flux density (H) at 77 K of the TSMG-processed Y123 and Y1.5 sample showed the 0.53 kG and 2.45 kG, respectively, which are 15% and 71% of the applied magnetic field of 3.5 kG. The high H value of the TSMG-processed Y1.5 sample is attributed to the formation of the larger superconducting grain with fine Y211 dispersion.

High-temperature superconductor films of YBa$_2$Cu$_3$$O_{7-x}$ were fabricated by electrophoretic deposition (EPD) from alcohol-based suspension. Maximum stability is observed for the suspension containing iso-alcohol as the dispersion medium. However, for the formation of a dense and adherent coating of YBCO on a silver substrate by EPD, the best results were obtained in mix PrOH and BuOH suspension. The superconducting critical current density (J$_{c}$) was 1200 A/cm$^2$ for a films deposited in 30% iso-PrOH and 70 % iso-BuOH suspension.ion.
