A sample of YBa2Cu3O7-x fluorinated by a high temperature (400$^{\circ}C$) gas exchange technique has been investigated by means of 19F NMR (nuclear magneti resonance) measurements in both superconducting and normal state. As a result, behaviors characteristic of the superconductor, including a peculiarity in the spin-lattice relaxation rate (1/T1) around 250 K, were observed.

In this study, we have fabricated in-situ multilayer $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-\delta}$/$SrTiO_{3}$/$YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-\delta}$ ramp edge type junctions by using a metal mask and pulsed laser deposition method and studied the junction properties. The junctions showed RSJ-like I-V characteristics. The normal state junction resistance R, of $18 \omega$ was nearly constant with temperature. The dc-SQUID sensors fabricated with the junctions show a sensitivity that transfer function dV/$d\Phi$)~$22\mu$V/$\Phi_{0}$, indicating that the in-situ ramp edge type junction is potentially useful for sensor application.

For the fabrication of YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{x}$ thick film using diffusion process between $Y_3$BaCuO$_{5}$ and BaO+CuO, each material was selected as substrate and doping material. In this paper, we investigated the characteristic of YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{x}$ thick film due to both addition of CeO$_2$into substrate and initial particle size of doping material. Through X-ray diffraction patterns and SEM photographs, the variation of composition and thickness of the formed phase was observed. It was from the experiment obtained that the addition of CeO$_2$into $Y_2$BaCuO$_{5}$ substrate and the initial particle size of doping material play important part in promoting the reaction between substrate and doping material.aterial.

To obtain fine dispersion of Ag particles in $YBa_2$$Cu_3$$O_{7-y}$ (123) superconductors, 123 samples were made by pyrophoric synthetic method using malic acid and the subsequent solid- state reaction. As the pyrophoric synthetic powder was used as a precursor material, fine 123 powder of submicron size was produced in a short reaction time. The added $Ag_2$O was converted to metallic Ag during Pyrophoric reaction and it accelerated both the formation of 123 phase and the grain growth via the enhanced mass transfer. The Ag particles of the sample sintered using the pyrephoric synthetic powder were more finely dispersed in the 123 matrix, compared to those of the sample sintered using the mechanically mixed powder, attributing to the improvement of the superconducting properties.

Deposition condition of YBa$_2$Cu$_3$$O_{7-x}$ (YBCO) films on moving IBAD templates (CeO$_2$/IBAD-YSZ/SS) was studied in a hot-wall type metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) process using single liquid source. The reel velocity was 40 cm/hr and the source mole ratios of Y(tmhd)$_3$:Ba(tmhd)$_2$:Cu(tmhd)$_2$ were 1:2.3:3.1 and 1:2.1:2,9, Two different types of IBAD templates with thin CeO$_2$ and thick CeO$_2$ layers were used, The YBCO films were successfully deposited at the deposition temperatures of 780~89$0^{\circ}C$ ; the a-axis growth was observed together with the c-axis growth up to 83$0^{\circ}C$. while the c-axis growth became dominant above 83$0^{\circ}C$. The top surface of the c-axis film was fairly dense and included a small amount of the a-axis growth, although the peaks of the a-axis grains were not observed in XRD pattern, The YBCO film deposited on IBAD template with thin CeO$_2$ layer showed low critical current of 2.5 A/cm-width. while the YBCO film deposited on IBAD template with thick CeO$_2$ layer showed higher critical current of 50 A/cm-width. This result indicates that thick CeO$_2$ layer is thermally more stable than thin CeO$_2$ layer at the high deposition temperature of the MOCVD process.s.

High-Tc superconducting materials, $YBa_2Cu_3O_xF_y$ with $x{\leq}6.89\;and\;0.25{\leq}y{\leq}0.35$, were prepared and Studied by X-ray diffraction, magnetic susceptibility and resistivity measurement. Under given conditions, reproducible resistivities were obtained, which increased with increase in the amount of fluorine. The introduced fluorine atoms were found to be localized in pyramidal Cu-O units rather than in Cu-O chains. It is suggested that the localized fluorine atom increases the electronic lolcalization of the superconducting electrons.

$YBa_2Cu_3O_x$ superconducting thick film was fabricated by surface diffusion process of $Y_2BaCUO_5$ and the mixed compound of $(3BaCuO_2+2CuO)$ expected to be liquid phase above the peritectic temperature of YBa2Cu30x. For the surface diffusion. 3BaCu02+2CuO mixed with binder material was patterned on $Y_2BaCuO_5$ substrate by the screen printing method. The characteristic of current limit on thick film fabricated was measured. The thick film limited the current from $2.8213mA_{rms}$ to $4.2034mA_{rms}$ with $500{\Omega}$ load resistance, and from $4.1831mA{rms}$ to $4.2150mA_{rms}$ with $10{\Omega}$ load resistance.

YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{x}$ (Y123) single crystal was grown by TSMG (top seeded melt growth) method. Physical properties of Y123 single crystal were dependent on the shape and distribution of Y2BaCuOx (Y211) in it and on the oxygenation temperature and the holding time. In this work, It was investigated to an optimal oxygenation condition and a dependence of melting temperature and holding time on physical properties. The optimal oxygenation condition was found that it was heat-treated for 30 hours at 45$0^{\circ}C$, Also it was found that the critical current density and the size of Y211 were increased with the melting temperature and the holding time.e.

YBa2Cu3O7-x oxide superconductors were fabricated by sintering and hotisostatic pressing (HIP), and their microstructures and properties were compared with each other. Thougha part of the second phase was observed along grain boundaries, their structures were consisted of single (123) phase and they had many porosities. But, porosities were remakably reduced by Hiping and the densification was brought about. The structure of (123) compound also showed a number of twins, which are typical of high Tc superconductors. The on-set temperature of YBa2Cu3O7-x compound sintered at 96$0^{\circ}C$ in oxygen and hipped at 88$0^{\circ}C$ was highest, but that shwoed 0 resistance at 87$^{\circ}$K, which is a little lower than the compound sintered at 96$0^{\circ}C$. HIP treatment also increased the critical current density of as-sintered compound. However, its value was low, which may be ascribed to the many pores of starting-sintered compact and partially to the second phase along grain boundaries.
