SrTiO₃ (STO) thin fims were deposited on the biaxially textured Ni-3 wt%W alloy substrates to be used as a single buffer layer for YBa₂CU₃O/sub 7-8/(YBCO) coated conductor. Thin films of YBCO and STO were deposited using pulsed laser. The deposition condition for epitaxial growth of STO on the textured metal was identified, and YBCO coated conductor with a single STO buffer layer with critical current density of 1.2 MA㎠ at 77 K under zero magnetic field and critical temperature of 86 K, was fabricated.

Effects of organic additives on YBCO coated conductor prepared by MOD-TFA method were investigated. YBCO thin films were deposited on (100)-oriented single crystalline LaAlO$_3$substrates by conventional MOD-TFA process. The microstructures of YBCO thin films show labyrinth-like patterns. The origin of this microstructure was delineated by compositional inhomogeneity during the pyrolysis process of MOD process and it was shown that organic additives changes the microstructure and texture development of grown YBCO films

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.

According to the improvement of HTS conductor, HTS tapes which have the high current capacity have been recently researched in several nations. For large power application, AC loss is the most important issue in the development of AC superconducting power devices because it is closely related to the system operation efficiency. In 1st generation wire of HTS conductor, BSCCO, AC loss is too large to use for power application. Also, It is well known in recently years that YBCO CC, the 2nd generation wire, has also too much AC loss to apply to AC power devices. There are many trials to develop the new HTS wire having the low AC loss around the world. In this research, we present the measurment result of magnetization losses in SmBCO coated conductors. We measured the magnetization loss generated by perpendicularly exposed external magnetic field and compared with the analytic value of the strip model. Also, we presented the results compared with measured magnetization loss of an YBCO coated conductor.

초전도 선재로의 응용을 위하여 Pulsed laser deposition(PLD)법으로 고온 초전도 체 YBa₂Cu₃O/sub 7-δ/(YBCO) coated conductor를 제조하였다. coated conductor는 금속기판/완충층/초전도층의 구조를 이루고 있는데 완충층은 금속 기판의 집합조직을 초전도층까지 전달하는 역할과 금속기판의 금속이 초전도층으로 확산되어 초전도층의 전기적 특성을 열화시키는 것을 막아주는 확산장벽으로의 역할 등을 수행한다. 완충층의 박막 성장이 제대로 이루어지지 않으면 우수한 초전도 특성을 가지는 초전도층을 얻을 수 없다. 완충층은 금속기판과의 lattice match, thermal match등이 요구되고, 화학적으로 금속기판 및 초전도층과 반응하지 않아야 하며, 긍속기판의 산화없이 epitaxial하게 박막증착이 이루어질 수 있는 재료이어야 한다. 이러한 조건을 만족하는 YBCO, CeO₂, YSZ 등이 주로 사용되고 있다. 전기연구원에서 YBCO coated conductor 선재를 제조하기 위하여 사용하고 있는 다층 박막의 구조는 YBCO/CeO₂/YSZ/CeO₂/Ni(002)과 YBCO/CeO₂/YSZ/Y₂O₃/Ni(002)이며, 최적의 증착조건을 찾기 위하여 성장시 챔버의 산소분압, 완충층의 두께, 기판 온도 등을 변화시켰다. 증착된 완충층 및 초전도층의 집합 조직은 D8-Discover with GADDS(General Area Detector Diffraction System)로 XRD분석을 했고, 미세구조는 SEM으로 관찰하였으며 4단자법을 이용하여 초전도 특성을 측정하였다.

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.

Recently, it is proposed to make striations on the YBCO coated conductor and to transpose each other as one of the solutions to decrease the perpendicular magnetization loss. For large power application using HTS, the stacked conductor packing the YBCO coated conductors should be used because single conductor is limited in flowing of demanded large current. In this paper, we research the affect of the striation and continuously transposed stacking geometry on the magnetization loss in perpendicularly exposed magnetic field. Several short samples having different number of striation and continuously transposed stack are prepared and tested in perpendicularly exposed magnetic field for the magnetization loss characteristics. The magnetization loss of striated sample was lower than sample without striation. The reduction effect on magnetization loss by the striation is obviously appeared in higher field and lower number of stack and decreased as increasing the transposed stacking number. Also, the reduction effect by transposed stack is obviously appeared in lower field at lower number of striation and isn't appeared at higher striation number and higher magnetic field.

The flux-coupling type superconducting fault current limiter(SFCL) is composed of a series transformer and superconducting unit of the YBCO coated conductor. The primary and secondary coils in the transformer were wound in series each other through an iron core and the YBCO coated conductor was connected with secondary coil in parallel. In a normal condition, the flux generated from a primary coil is cancelled out by its structure and the zero resistance of the YBCO thin films. When a fault occurs, the resistance of the YBCO coated conductor was generated and the fault current was limited by the SFCL. In this paper, we investigated the fault current limiting characteristics according to turn ratio in the flux-coupling type SFCL. The experiment results that the fault current limiting characteristics was improved according to turn ratio.
