In 1987, M. K. Wu and Paul Chu discovered $Y_{1.2}Ba_{0.8}CuO_4$ (YBCO) with critical temperature ($T_c$) of 93 K. It has significantly lowered the cost of cooling of a material up to the point where superconductivity set in. Utilizing the cost reduction of attaining superconductivity and the vast amount of research to understand characteristics of high temperature oxide superconducting materials, there has been effort to use a high temperature superconductor as a coated conductor. It is important to characterize the materials precisely for stable performance before commercializing. We used polarized Raman scattering spectroscopy to study structural and stoichiometric information regarding $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$, $GdYBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$, and $GdBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$ produced by three leading groups of producing commercial grade high temperature superconductor coated conductors American Superconductor Corporation, Superpower, and SuNAM.

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.

In this paper, based on the research of high temperature YBCO superconductor, using the Yb instead of Y, with the YbBCO superconductor powder which was combined by means of conventional solid reaction, textured directional crystal was prepared by MCP method and the character was analyzed. Mixing the starting elements and calcining at 890$^{\circ}C$, 900$^{\circ}C$, 910$^{\circ}C$, single phase YbBCO, Yb$_2$BaCuO$\sub$5/ and BaCuO$\sub$2/ were certified. And from the powder which was calcined at 900$^{\circ}C$ the, sample which became texture-growth by MCP method was well oriented. The result of DTA measurement, the fusing point of YbBCO superconductor and it\`s critical current was measured to be 979$^{\circ}C$, 87K respectively. The critical current density was obtained at the value of 700A/$\textrm{cm}^2$(77K. 0H) calculated by Bean's Model using the measured hysteresis curve of VSM.

Directionally melt-textured high $T_c\;(Y_{0.5}Nd_{0.25}Sm_{0.25})Ba_{2}Cu_{3}O_y$ [(YNS)-123] superconductor was systematically investigated by the zone melt growth process in air. A sample prepared by this method showed well-textured microstructure, and $(Y_{0.5}Nd_{0.25}Sm_{0.25})_{2}BaCuO_5$[(YNS)211] inclusions were uniformly dispersed in large $(Y_{0.5}Nd_{0.25}Sm_{0.25})Ba_{2}Cu_{3}O_y$ [(YNS)123] matrix. High irreversibility field and magnetization hysteresis loop of the zone melt-textured (YNS)-123 sample exhibited the enhanced flux pinning, compared with $YBa_{2}Cu_{3}O_y$ (Y-123) sample without RE(rare earth). Critical current density of (YNS)-123 sample was $2.5{\times}10^4\;A/cm^2$ at 2 T and 77 K.

In this study, a new sintered specimens of Y$\_$1-x/Sm$\_$x/Ba$_2$Cu$_3$O$\_$y/ is composed by substituting Sm for a part of Y in the YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$\_$y/ high Tc superconductor, in order to study of making (Y$.$Sm)-Ba-Cu-O system sintered specimens and their characteristics. An their change affected on superconductivity and their characteristics are studied by changing the x range of the composition rate. The resistances of electrical characteristics under the conditions of the composition and the temperature are measured by using Ac four probe method in the procedure of this experiments. And it is confirmed that the Meissner effect from the superconductivity of composed Sm system exists in the range of 0

Y, Ba and Cu nitrates were precipitated by oxalic acid at pH 4. The Y, Ba and Cu oxalate powders were vacuum dried and characterized by XRD, DT/TGA and etc. Yttrium nitrate precipitated as $NH_4Y(C_2O_4){_2}H_2O$ and converted to $Y_2O_3$ above $450^{\circ}C$. Ba precipitated with two phases, $Ba(HC_2O_4){_2}2H_2O\;and\;Ba(C_2O_4)$. The amount of each precipitates was 4 : 1, Cu precipitated non-hydrated form, $Cu(C_2O_4)$. The vacuum drying was successful to characterize precipitated powder, which had been generally known as amorphous gel.

Magnetic properties of grain aligned high $T_c\;Y_1Ba_2Cu_3O_{7-y}$ superconductor are inverstigated. Grain-aligned superconductors have magnetic anisotropy in the Cu-O layer like single crystals. The lower critical field $H_{c1},$ measured at the temperature range of 2 K up to 77 K, is found to be decreasing linearly as temperature goes up. Moreover, it decreaes more rapidly when the Cu-O layer is perpendicular to the external magnetic field. The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility shows that the value of magnetic susceptibility, $4{\pi}\;X,$ is close to -1 at low temperature. The intra grain critical current density $J_c,$ obtained from the Bean's critical state model, is found to be comparable to that of single crystal superconductors.

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.

YBa₂Cu₃O_7-y bulk as a high temperature oxide superconducting conductor has the high critical temperature of 92 K. YBa₂Cu₃O_7-y bulk superconductors have been fabricated by a seeded melting growth. Magnetic properties were studied by using superconductor of melted YBa₂Cu₃O_7-y oxides. It was demonstrated that Y₂BaCuO₅ particles acts as a pinning center which plays an important role on the magnetic properties. The thickness of the upper and lower pellets of the YBa₂Cu₃O_7-y bulk was formed at 40 mm with 55 g of the composition, and the YBa₂Cu₃O_7-y superconductor was manufactured through a heat treatment process. Manufacturing the superconducting bulk, it is possible to improve the pore density of the superconducting bulk by providing a path through which oxygen could be emitted.
