Stress/stram dependencies of the critical current $I_c$ in AgMgNi sheathed multifilamentary Bi(2212) superconducting tapes were evaluated at 77K, 0T. The external reinforcement was accomplished by soldering Ag-Mg tapes to sin91e side or both sides of the sample. With the external reinforcement. the strength of tapes increased but $I_c$, decreased The $I_c$, degradation characteristic according to the external reinforcement was improved markedly in terms of the stress although it appeared less rectal.table on the basis of the strain. Effects of external reinforcement were discussed in a viewpoint of monitoring sensitivity of cracking in superconducting filaments by considering n-value representing the transport behavior of the current. It is closely associated with the location of them relative to the voltage-monitoring region in the tape.

A ring comprising a coated conductor was fabricated. A ring was made first using a biaxially textured Ni tape whose two ends were connected by means of the atomic diffusion bonding technique. Then buffer layers and a YBCO film were deposited on it. All the films were well textured as confirmed by XRD pole figures. The B-H loops, where B and H are the magnetic field at the center of the ring and the applied field respectively, were measured as a function of temperature. The persistent current density (J$_c$) flowing circularly was estimated from the remanent field of B. In the range of temperature from 72K to 20K, J$_c$ changed from zero to 2${\times}$1 0$^5$A/cm$^2$.

고체산화물 연료전지는 전해질의 양쪽에 cathode층과 anode층으로 구성되어 있다. 이러한 셀을 제작하기 위한 구성소재 코팅법으로는 EVD, CVD, sputter등의 기상공정과 screen printing, tape casting, dip coating등의 습식공정이 있다. 이중 현재 가장 널리 사용되고 있는 screen printing법은 코팅기판의 크기와 형태에 제한을 받아 원통형, 평관형에는 적용이 어렵다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 본 연구에서는 electrolyte 지지체 위에 전사법을 통해 연료극(NiO-YSZ), 공기극(LSCF-GDC) 코팅층의 두께 및 형상을 제어할 수 있었으며 button cell을 제작하여 실제 SOFC에 적용이 가능함을 확인하였다.

The tensile strain dependency of critical current in YBCO coated conductors was examined at 77K and in the self magnetic field. A commercially available YBCO sample with Cu stabilizer layer was supplied. There existed a peak in the relation between the Ie and tensile strain, and the reversible variation of $I_c$ with applied tensile strain was found. In the neutral axis Ni alloy RABiTS-$Y_2O_3$/YSZ/$CeO_2$ buffered YBCO tape, the $I_c$ recovered reversibly until the applied strain reached to about 0.5%, representing that a significant residual compressive strain induced during cooling to 77 K influenced the axial strain tolerance of YBCO conductors. To investigate the strain and stress influence on the $I_c$, the stress-strain characteristics of YBCO conductors measured at 77 K were discussed.

High temperature superconducting coated conductor has a structure of ///. The buffer layer consists of multi-layer, this study reports the deposition method and optimal deposition conditions of YSZ(Yttria-stabilized zirconia) layer which plays a important part in preventing the elements of substrate from diffusing into the superconducting layer. YSZ layer was deposited by DC reactive sputtering technique using water vapor for oxidizing deposited elements on substrate. To investigate optimal thickness of YSZ film, four YSZ/CeO$_2$/Ni samples with different YSZ thickness(130 nm, 260 nm, 390 nm, and 650 nm) were prepared. The SEM image showed that the surface of YSZ layer was getting to be rougher as YSZ layer was getting thicker and the growth mode of YSZ layer was columnar grain growth. After CeO$_2$ layer was deposited with the same thickness of 18.3 nm on each four samples, YBCO layer was deposited by PLD method with the thickness of 300 nm. The critical currents of four samples were 0, 6 A, 7.5 A, and 5 A respectively. This shows that as YSZ layer is getting thicker, YSZ layer plays a good role as a diffusion barrier but the surface of YSZ layer is getting rougher.

Three group samples with difference thickness of $CeO_2$ capping layer deposited by PLD were studied. Among them, one group $CeO_2$ films were deposited on stainless steel tape coated with IBAD- YSZ and $CeO_2$ buffer layer ($CeO_2$/IBAD-YSZ/SS); other two groups of $CeO_2 YSZ Y_2O_3$multi-layer were deposited on NiW substrates for fabrication of YBCO coated conductor through RABiTS approach. The pulsed laser deposition (PLD) and DC magnetron sputtering were employed to deposit these buffer layers. On the top of buffer layer, YBCO film was deposited by PLD. The effect of thickness of $CeO_2$ film on the texture of $CeO_2$ film and critical current density ($J_c$) of YBCO film were analyzed. For the case $CeO_2$ on $CeO_2$/IBAD-YSZ/SS, there was a self-epitaxy effect with the increase of $CeO_2$ film. For $YSZ/Y_2O_3$ NiW which was deposited by PLD or DC magnetron sputtering, there is not self-epitaxy effect. However, the capping layer of $CeO_2$ film deposited by PLD improved the quality of buffer layer for $YSZ/Y_2O_3$ which was deposited by DC magnetron sputtering, therefore increased the $J_c$ of YBCO film.

Graphene, hexagonal network of carbon atoms forming a one-atom thick planar sheet, has been emerged as a fascinating material for future nanoelectronics. Huge attention has been captured by its extraordinary electronic properties, such as bipolar conductance, half integer quantum Hall effect at room temperature, ballistic transport over ${\sim}0.4{\mu}m$ length and extremely high carrier mobility at room temperature. Several approaches have been developed to produce graphene, such as micromechanical cleavage of highly ordered pyrolytic graphite using adhesive tape, chemical reduction of exfoliated graphite oxide, epitaxial growth of graphene on SiC and single crystalline metal substrate, and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) synthesis. In particular, direct synthesis of graphene using metal catalytic substrate in CVD process provides a new way to large-scale production of graphene film for realization of graphene-based electronics. In this method, metal catalytic substrates including Ni and Cu have been used for CVD synthesis of graphene. There are two proposed mechanism of graphene synthesis: carbon diffusion and precipitation for graphene synthesized on Ni, and surface adsorption for graphene synthesized on Cu, namely, self-limiting growth mechanism, which can be divided by difference of carbon solubility of the metals. Here we present that large area, uniform, and layer controllable graphene synthesized on Cu catalytic substrate is achieved by acetylene-assisted CVD. The number of graphene layer can be simply controlled by adjusting acetylene injection time, verified by Raman spectroscopy. Structural features and full details of mechanism for the growth of layer controllable graphene on Cu were systematically explored by transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and secondary ion mass spectroscopy.

The Ni-Al anodes of the molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC) with three different structures were successfully fabricated in order to reduce the thickness of the anode down to 0.3 mm; one was the non-supported anode made by a conventional tape casting method, and others were the supported anodes made by lamination or direct casting on the nickel screen. It was seen from the physical analyses and cell operation that the supported thin anodes made by direct casting showed good mechanical strength and cell performance because of a good contact between the anode materials and the support. The single cell using the above anode showed the cell voltage of 0.858 V at the current density of 150$mA/cm^2$ with the nitrogen cross-over of only 0.6% at the operation time of 1,000 h, which was similar to the performance of the conventional thick (0.7 mm) anode. The ability to utilize a thin configuration of anode should cut down the amount of nickel alloy and consequently reduce its manufacturing cost.

초전도 coated conductor는 보호층/초전도층/완충층/금속기판의 구조를 가지며 완충층은 다층산화물 박막으로 이루어져 있다. 본 연구에서는 니켈 기판의 원자가 초전도층으로 확산 침투하는 것을 방지하는 YSZ(Yttria Stabilized Zirconia) 박막의 증착방법 및 최적조건에 대하여 소개하고자 한다. 금속타겟을 사용하며 산화반응가스로서 수증기를 사용하는 것을 특징으로 하는 DC reactive sputtering을 이용하여 YSZ를 증착하였으며 기판 온도는 $850^{\circ}C$ 이며 증착시 수증기 분압은 1mTorr이었다. YSZ의 최적두께를 알아보기 위하여 $CeO_2(12.2nm)/Ni$ 상부에 130nm, 260nm, 390nm, 650nm로 두께를 달리하여 YSZ층을 증착하고 SEM으로 박막 표면상태를 관찰한 결과 columnar grain growth를 하며 두께가 두꺼워 질수록 표면조도가 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 4개의 각 시료위에 thermal evaporation 증착법을 이용하여 $CeO_2$를 18.3nm의 두께로 증착한 후 PLD를 이용하여 YBCO 초전도 박막을 300nm 두께로 증착하였고 77K, 0T에서 임계전류가 각각 0, 6A, 7.5A, 5A로 측정되었다. 이는 YSZ층의 두께가 두꺼워질수록 기판 구성원자의 확산방지역할을 충실히 하는 반면에 표면조도는 증가함을 알 수 있었다.

The low normal zone propagation velocity (NZPV) of high-temperature superconducting (HTS) tape leads to a quench protection problem in HTS magnet applications. To overcome this limitation, various studies were conducted on HTS coils without turn-to-turn insulation (NI coils) that can achieve self-protection. On the other hand, NI coils have some disadvantages such as slow charging and discharging time. Previously, the HTS coils with turn-to-turn insulation (INS coils) were operated in power supply (PS) driven mode, which requires physical contact with the external PS at room-temperature, not in persistent current mode. When a quench occurs in INS coils, the low NZPV delays quench detection and protection, thereby damaging the coils. However, the rotary HTS flux pump supplies the DC voltage to the superconducting circuit with INS coils in a non-contact manner, which causes the INS coils to operate in a persistent current mode, while enabling quench protection. In this paper, a new protection characteristic of HTS coils is investigated with INS coils charging through the rotary HTS flux pump. To experimentally verify the quench protection characteristic of the INS coil, we investigated the current magnitude of the superconducting circuit through a quench, which was intentionally generated by thermal disturbances in the INS coil under charging or steady state. Our results confirmed the protection characteristic of INS coils using a rotary HTS flux pump.
