Formation and characteristics of spraying powder for BSCCO High-Tc superconductor prepared by plasma spray coating were investigated. The addition of 3% of binder gives the best flowability of the powder. Ball milling for 30h and 35h gives the best flowability of powder in the case of 2001 and 0212, respectively. The withdraw ratio increases upon binder addition from 12 to 27% in the case of 2001 and from 18 to 31% in the case of 0212 for sieving powder of $30-90{\mu}m$ in size. The built-up efficiency for $100{\mu}m$ thickness of spray coating is increased more than 30% by binder addition. The microstructure of the spray coated layers was investigated by XRD and EDS analysis.

BSCCO thin films are fabricated via a co-deposition process by an ion beam sputtering with an ultra-low growth rate, and sticking coefficients of the respective elements are evaluated. The sticking coefficient of Bi element exhibits a characteristic temperature dependence : almost a constant value of 0.49 below $730^{\circ}C$ and decreases linearly with temperature over $730^{\circ}C$. This temperature dependence can be elucidated from the evaporation and sublimation rates of bismuth oxide, $Bi_{2}O_{3}$, from the film surface. It is considered that the liquid phase of the bismuth oxide plays an important role in the Bi 2212 phase formation in the co-deposition process.

Phase intergrowth in BSCCO thin films has been Investigated. It turfed out from XRD analyses of these phases that molar fraction of each constituent phase in the intergrowth thin film can be exhibited as a function of substrate temperature and ozone pressure. Super- conducting behavior of the intergrowth thin aim Is also discussed.

High quality BSCCO thin films have been fabricated by means of an ion beam sputtering at various substrate temperatures, T$\_$sub/, and ozone gas pressures, PO$_3$. The correlation diagrams of the BSCCO phases appeared against T$\_$sub/ and PO$_3$ are established in the 2212 and 2223 compositional films. In spite of 2212 compositional sputtering, Bi2201 and Bi2223 phases as well as Bi2212 one come out as stable phases depending on T$\_$sub/ and PO$_3$. From these results, the thermodynamic evaluations of ΔH and ΔS, which are related with Gibbs' free energy change for single Bi2212 or Bi2223 phase are performed.

Racetrack coils are used in many areas of superconductivity applications such as generators, motors, maglev, wiggler magnets and so on. Especially now a days a few advanced nations including U.S., Japan are developing high temperature superconducting(HTS) wire which has better performance than low temperature superconducting(LTS) wire. Most of HTS wires such as BSCCO-2223 are manufactured with PIT(Power In Tube) process, so the shape of the wire looks like tape different from LTS wire with round cross-sectional appearance like normal conductors. Generally HTS racetrack coils are composed of a few partial double-pancake colis and then the double-pancakes are jointed each other according to their applications.

The persistent current mode operation of HTS coils is one of the key technologies required for very high-field MRI magnets composed of LTS and HTS coils. But to date, the fabrication of persistent current mode system using HTS is not investigated well. In this paper, we fabricated the magnet and PCS using by BSCCO-2223 tape and jointed them with solder. The current decay behavior of the circuit was measured in liquid nitrogen by monitoring the magnetic field in the centre of magnet with a Hall sensor. To enhance the characteristic of persistent current mode system, superconducting joint method should be investigated.

High quality BSCCO thin films have been fabricated by means of an ion beam sputtering at various substrate temperatures, $T_{sub}$, and ozone gas pressures, $PO_3$. The correlation diagrams of the BSCCO phases appeared against $T_{sub}$ and $PO_3$ are established in the 2212 and 2223 compositional films. In spite of 2212 compositional sputtering, Bi220l and Bi2223 phases as well as Bi2212 one come out as stable phases depending on $T_{sub}$ and $PO_3$. From these results, the thermodynamic evaluations of ${\Delta}H$ and ${\Delta}S$ S, which are related with Gibbs' free energy change for single Bi2212 or Bi2223 phase are performed.

We evaluated the degree of texture through depth of the superconductor core of Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O(BSCCO) superconductor tape. The degree of texture was characterized by pole figure analysis indicating that the degree of texture varied significantly with depth of the superconductor core. It was observed that the degree of texture was higher near the interface than inside the superconductor core. Specifically, as getting near to the center from the sheath/core interface, the orientation of BSCCO became dispersed from normal direction(ND) which, in turn, resulted in the degradation of <001>-fiber texture. In addition, the <001> texture was non-uniform an, better texture was developed along rolling direction(RD), compared to transverse direction(TD). Microstructural investigation showed that grain alignment was locally degraded by the existence of second phases. I was observed that larger grain size and better texturing were developed near the relatively straight interface compared to those inside the superconducting core. Based on our study, the region near the interface is thought to carry significant current compared to that inside the core.
