YBa$_2Cu_3O_{7-{\delta}}$ (YBCO) films grown on CeO$_2$-buffered r-cut sapphire substrates (CbS's) were prepared and their structural and electrical properties were measured. Post-annealed CeO$_2$ films were used as buffer layers for the experiments. It turned out that the YBCO films grown on post-annealed CbS's had the rms roughness of less than 20 ${\AA}$ and peak-to-peak roughness of about 30 ${\AA}$ when the YBCO film thickness was 3000 ${\AA}$. Meanwhile, YBCO films on in-situ grown CeO$_2$ buffer layers on r-cut sapphire substrates appeared to have the peak-to-peak roughness of more than 450 ${\AA}$. X-ray diffraction data revealed that the YBCO flms were epitaxially grown along the c-axis with the typical FWHM of(005) ${\theta}$ -2 ${\theta}$ peak about 0. 16 $^{\circ}$ and ${\Delta}$ ${\omega}$ of the (005) peak about 0.5 $^{\circ}$. T$_c$ > 87 K, ${\Delta}$T < 1 K and R(look)/R(100K) ${\ge}$3 were observed from the YBCO films. Applicability of the YBCO films for high-frequency applications was described.

The properties of $2^{nd}$ generation high temperature superconducting wire, coated conductor strongly depend on the quality of superconducting oxide layer and property of metal substrate is one of the most important factors affecting the quality of coated conductor. Good mechanical and chemical stability at high temperature are required to maintain the initial integrity during the various process steps required to deposit several layers consisting coated conductor. And substrate need to be nonmagnetic to reduce magnetization loss for ac application. Hastelloy and stainless steel are the most suitable alloys for metal substrate. One of the obstacles in using stainless steel as substrate for coated conductor is its difficulties in making smooth surface inevitable for depositing good IBAD layer. Conventional method involves several steps such as electro polishing, deposition of $Al_2O_3$ and $Y_2O_3$ before IBAD process. Chemical solution deposition method can simplify those steps into one step process having uniformity in large area. In this research, we tried to improve the surface roughness of stainless steel(SUS310). The precursor coating solution was synthesized by using yttrium complex. The viscosity of coating solution and heat treatment condition were optimized for smooth surface. A smooth amorphous $Y_2O_3$ thin film suitable for IBAD process was coated on SUS310 tape. The surface roughness was improved from 40nm to 1.8 nm by 4 coatings. The IBAD-MgO layer deposited on prepared substrate showed good in plane alignment(${\Delta}{\phi}$) of $6.2^{\circ}$.

비접촉식 온도센서는 물체에서 방출하는 적외선 등의 복사신호를 열에너지로 전환하고 이를 다시 전기신호로 2차 에너지 변환하여 온도를 감지하는 센서로 인체 검지를 응용한 다양한 상품 및 교통, 방재, 빌딩 시스템 등의 분야에 널리 응용되고 있다. 비접촉식 적외선 센서는 열에너지를 전기에너지로 변환하는 방법에 따라 양자형과 열형으로 구분되며, 이중 양자형은 광전도나 광기전력 효과 등을 이용하여 감도 및 응답성이 우수하다는 장점을 지니고 있지만, 소자부를 80K 이하 온도로 유지시키는 냉각을 필요로 하므로 대형 제작이 불가피하고 그 용도가 제한적이다. 열형은 냉각이 필요 없고 소형으로 제작가능한 장점을 지니고 있어 써모 파일이나 초전체를 이용한 번용 센서가 보급되고 있다. 그러나 써모파일의 경우 출력되는 전기 신호가 미약하여 감도 및 응답성을 향상하기 위해 구조가 복잡하고, 특히 모터초퍼나 저항을 전압으로 변환시키는 전력기 등이 필요로 하는 단점을 지니고 있다. 따라서 이러한 문제점을 보완하기 위해 열전재료 박막을 이용한 적외선 센서를 개발하려는 노력이 진행중에 있다. 열전박막을 이용한 적외선 센서는 열전재료의 Seebeck 현상을 이용하여 열에너지에서 전기에너지의 변환이 자가발전으로 이루어져 offset과 외부 바이어스를 필요로 하지 않는다. 또한 작은 온도 변화에도 그 감도와 응답성이 높고, 출력신호가 커서 증폭기 등이 불필요한 장점을 지니고 있다. 특히 초전형 센서가 상온에서도 기판에 대한 열 확산을 제어해야 하는 문제점을 갖는 반면, 열전박막형 적외선 센서는 고온에서도 안정된 출력 신호를 얻을 수 있어 그 활용 온도 범위가 크게 확대될 것으로 기대된다. 본 실험에서는 우수한 열전특성을 갖는 (Bi1-xSbx)2Te3 박막을 얻기 위해 열팽창계수가 작고 알칼리 원소가 0.3% 이하로 포함되어 있는 corning glass(# 7059)를 기판으로 사용하였다. 또한 최적의 열전특성을 나타내는 조성을 실험적으로 구하기 위해 (Bi0.2Sbx)2Te3 조성의 합금 타？ 위에 Bi2Te3 및 Sb2Te3 chip을 올려놓고 그 면적을 변화시켜 다양한 조성의 열전박막을 증착하였다. 열전박막의 증착시 산화와 오염에 의한 열전특성 변화를 최소화하기 위해 초기진공도를 1$\times$10-6 Torr로 하였으며, Ar 가스를 흘려주어 2$\times$102 Torr 의 증착진공도를 유지하였다. 열전박막을 증착하기 전에 기판을 10분간 200W의 출력으로 RF 처리하였으며, 30$0^{\circ}C$에서 33 /sec의 속도로 (Bi1-xSbx)2Te3 박막을 증착하였다. 이와 같이 제조된 (Bi1-xSbx)2Te3 박막의 미세구조를 SEM으로 관찰하고 EDS로 조성을 분석하였으며, XRD를 이용하여 결정성을 관찰하였다. 또한 (Bi1-xSbx)2Te3 박막의 Seebeeck 계수 및 전기비저항을 측정하고 증착된 박막조성, 결정상, 미세구조와 열전특성간의 상관관계를 고찰하였다.

This paper presents conceptual design and 3-D electromagnetic analysis of 1MVA transformer with BSCCO-2223 High Tc Superconducting (HTS) tapes. The rated voltages of each sides of the transformer are 22.9 kV and 6.6 kV, and double pancake windings were adopted. High voltage and Low voltage sides were composed of several double pancake windings. Four HTS tapes were wound in parallel for the windings of low voltage side and were transposed in order to distribute the currents equally in each conductor. The transformer core was designed as a shell type core made of laminated silicon steel plates and the core is separated with the windings by a cryostat with Fiberglass Reinforced Plastics(FRP). A sub-cooling system using $LN_2$ were designed to maintain the coolant temperature of 65K. Finally perpendicular components of magnetic field applied to tapes were calculated 0.24T in the rated operation using 3-D analysis. A real 1MVA HTS transformer will be manufactured in near future based on the design parameters presented in this paper.

The crystallographic site dependent substitution of $^{18}O$ for $^{16}O$ in $Bi_{2}Sr_{2}Ca_{0.8}Y_{0.2}Cu_{2}^{16}O_{8+\delta}$ has heen investigated. In the Kaman spectra of $Bi_{2}Sr_{2}Ca_{0.8}Y_{0.2}Cu_{2}^{16}O_{8+\delta}$ three prominent Raman bands are observed at 297. 464, and $623cm^{-1}$. As the $^{16}O$ arc replaced hy $^{18}O$, all the three bands shift to lower wavewnumbers. The rate of this isotopic shift is similar for the hands at 397 and $464cm^{-1}$. whereas it is quite slower for the hand at $623cm^{-1}$ '['his implys that the $^{16}O-^{18}O$ exchange reaction is crystallographic sites dependent. .Assuming a tetragonal symmetry, we assign the bands at 623. 464, and $297cm^{-1}$ to the vibrations of $O_{pl}(A_{g}),\;O_{ap}\;and\;O_{Bi}$ respectively.

For the practical application of a YBCO superconductor bulk, the superconductor bulk magnet with high magnetic field on a large area surface should be fabricated. To make this, YBCO single crystal bulks with fine $Y_2BaCuO_5$(Y211) particles have been prepared by the top-seed melt growth(TSMG) method with $YBa_2Cu_3O_x$, $Y_2O_3$, and $CeO_2$ mixing precursor. By using $Y_2O_3$ instead of $Y_2BaCuO_5$ as precursor, the manufacturing process became simpler and more economical. The microstructures, trapped field and critical current density of the various conditioned YBCO bulks have been observed, analyzed and measured. The different characteristic values of the several samples have been analyzed from the viewpoint of their microstructures. We have developed a $8{\times}12cm$ size superconductor bulk magnet, up to 3 T class, by using the 4 T class-high field superconducting magnetizer and confirmed the applicability of the transmission level circuit breakers by measuring the strength and speed of the superconductor bulk magnet actuator.

For the design to prevent the saturation of iron core and the effective fault current limitation, the analysis for the operation of the flux-lock type superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) with consideration for the hysteresis characteristics of iron core is required. In this paper, the hysteresis characteristics of flux-lock reactor, which is an essential component of flux-lock type SFCL, was investigated. The hysteresis loss of iron core in flux-lock type SFCL does not happen due to its winding's structure especially in the normal state. From the equivalent circuit for the flux-lock type SFCL and the fault current limiting experiments, the hysteresis curves could be drawn. Through the analysis for both the hysteresis curves and the fault current limiting characteristics due to the number of turns for the 1st and 2nd winding, the increase of the number of turns in the 2nd winding of the flux-lock type SFCL had a role to prevent the iron core from saturation.

In the response to an increasing demand for electrical energy, much effort aimed to develop and commercialise HTS power equipments is going on around the world. For the development, it is necessary to establish the dielectric technology in $LN_2$. Hence many types of dielectric tests should be carried out to understand the dielectric phenomena at cryogenic temperature and to gather various dielectric data. Among the many types dielectric tests, the barrier effect were conducted with the simulated electrode after analysing the insulating configuration of the pancake coil type HTS transformer. The influence of a barrier on the dielectric strength was measured according to the size and the position of the barrier. It was shown that the effectiveness, the ratio of the breakdown voltage in presence of barrier to the voltage without barrier, is highest when the barrier is placed at the needle electrode side. And the barrier effect was not depend on the electrode array. The life time to breakdown with decreasing the applied voltage was increased remarkably having wide error band but the shape parameter in Weibull distribution was almost constant.

The characteristics of the Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) system are faster response, longer life time, more economical, and environment friendly than other Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) using battery. Fast charge and discharge time of SMES system can provide powerful performance of improving power quality in the grid. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of SMES, the authors make a 10kJ SMES system for connection with RTDS (Real Time Digital Simulator). Because the characteristics of superconducting magnet are very important in SMES system, the necessary items such as thermal characteristic, mechanical stress and protection circuit should be considered. In this paper, the authors experimented thermal characteristics of the 10kJ SMES system. The experiment was accomplished using a simulation coils made of aluminium. It has same dimension of the 10kJ class HTS SMES coil. The coil was cooled with GM (Gifford -McMahon) cryocooler through the OFHC (Oxgen Free High thermal Conductivity) conduction bar. The test results of cool down and heat loads characteristics of the simulation coils are described in detail.
