Coated conductor is an important candidate for power cable applications due to its high current density. Even for DC power cable transmission, we must study the transport properties of HTS tapes after slow and fast discharge. In order to evaluate relation of the magnetic field with applied current we developed a scanning magnetic field measurements system by employing a Hall probe. This work presents the measurements of the magnetic fields above a coated conductor by varying applied current pattern. In the work, a transport current of 100 A, less than the critical current, is applied to YBCO coated conductor. We measured the residual magnetic field distributions after cut off the transport current with slow and fast operations. The results show differences of the magnetic field profiles and the corresponding current profiles by an inverse solution from the magnetic field measurement between these two operations because of the hysteresis of coated conductor excited by the transport current.

Recently High Temperature Superconductor(HTS) Tape is limelight of the applied superconducting machines. Mainly used superconducting tape are BSCCO tape and YBCO coated tape. These superconducting tape are applied such as SMES, superconducting generator and MAGLEV. Actually superconductor tape's experimental gauge is short. For this reason, experiment was conducted. Firstly length of 50cm BSCCO, YBCO Coated conductor@Cu and YBCO coated conductor@sus are prepared. and flow the over-current. Secondly, BSCCO and Coated conductor connected with lenth of 25cm and flow the over-current. Coupled line of HTS tape was compared with single line of HTS tape and these overcurrent characteristics was investigated.

AC loss is main issue for power applications using YBCO coated conductor. The striated YBCO CC(Coated Conductor) has been proposed by several researchers to decrease a magnetization loss. A continuously transposed coated conductor (CTCC), suggested by our research group before, could be very useful for lower magnetization loss of large current power applications. In this paper, an AC loss reduction effect by the stack, striation and transposition of YBCO CCs under a time varying external magnetic field. To estimate the reduction effects for perpendicular magnetization loss, several CTCC samples were prepared and tested. Also, we measured angular dependency of magnetization losses of various CTCC samples.

For large scale power applications of HTS conductor, it is getting more important to have a stacked HTS coated conductor with low loss and large current capacity. But it was not easy to measure some electric properties. Stabilizer free YBCO CC for striated/ stacked conductors is easily burned out during the measurement of the critical current density because it has no stabilizer and it is difficult to set-up the current lead and voltage taps because it has many pieces of YBCO CC in a conductor. Instead of direct measuring the critical current of a stacked HTS coated conductor, indirect estimation from measuring a magnetization loss of HTS coated conductor could be useful for practical estimation of the critical current. The magnetization loss of a superconductor is supposed to be affected by a full penetrating magnetic field, and it tends to show an inflection point at the full penetrating magnetic field when we generate the graph of magnetization loss vs. external magnetic field. The full penetrating magnetic field depends on the shape of the conductor and its critical current density, so we can estimate the effective critical current density from measuring the magnetization loss. In this paper, to prove the effectiveness of this indirect estimation of the critical current, we prepared several different kinds of YBCO CC(coated conductor) including a stacked conductor short samples and measured the magnetization losses and the critical currents of each sample by using linked pick up coils and direct voltage measurement with transport current respectively.

For the application of superconductor technology, we need critical properties of superconductors such as a critical current ($I_c$). $I_c$ is varied as processing method by action of flux pinning center. Our research activities are reported on the establishment of standard measurement method for critical current in coated conductor. And then, we researched pre-studies for standardization of critical current evaluation method using IEC/TC 90 standard.

YBCO 박막형 초전도체(coated conductor) 제조를 위해서는 여러 층의 완충층이 필요하다. 현재 일반적인 완충층의 구조는 seed layer로써 $Y_2O_3$, diffusion barrier로 YSZ, capping layer로 $CeO_2$가 사용되고 있다. 특히, capping layer로 $CeO_2$는 YBCO와 lattice mismatch가 매우 우수한 산화물로 이용되고 있다 본 연구에서는 $CeO_2$ capping layer가 증착 방법에 따라 그 위에 증착되어지는 초전도층의 특성에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 연구하였다. $CeO_2$를 thermal evaporation과 PLD (pulsed laser deposition) 증착 방법으로 증착 한 후 그 위에 PLD 방법으로 YBCO를 증착하여 coated conductor의 성능을 평가하였다.
