The present work describes the effect of dry grinding of a mixture composed of $Y_2O_3$, $BaCO_3$ and CuO powders with a planetary ball mill before heat treatment on crystal structure and superconductivity in the $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-y}$. The specific surface area of the ground product of mixture decreased with an increase in the grinding time, after showing an upward trend up to 60 minutes of grinding. The critical current density, which was influenced by the grinding time of mixture, indicates the maximum value of about $150A/cm^2$ in the case of 60 minutes grinding, while the critical temperature, which were around 90K, for the sintered bodies were almost independent of the grinding time.

The electrical characteristics of single-crystal composite superconductors produced by a melting process were studied by neutron irradiation. In order to improve the current characteristics of the YBa₂Cu₃O_7-y superconductor, it is necessary to form an effective flux pinning center inside the superconductor. In this study, an increase in flux pinning was attempted through neutron irradiation onto YBa₂Cu₃O_7-y superconductors. The neutron irradiation was performed at 30 MeV for 500 sec, The electrical properties of the superconductors were measured in a magnetic field of 5 Tesla at 50 K using a magnetic properties measurement system (MPMS). After neutron irradiation, the critical current density of the YBa₂Cu₃O_7-y superconductor in a 1 Tesla magnetic field was 1×10⁵ A/cm². Once neutrons were irradiated at 30 MeV and 10 μA for 500 sec, the critical current density was observed to increase significantly. When neutrons are irradiated to a superconductor, micro-defects are created in the superconductor, and they act as flux pinning centers that hold the magnetic field generated when an electric current flows.

The YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O6+xstructures have been fluorinated by a gas phase exchange technique, and 19F NMR was used to identify the structural fluorine. Magnetic susceptibility measurements showed that the fluorination turned a marginally nonsuperconducting sample into a 40 K superconductor, as well as that it raised the onset of the superconducting transition of the 60 K superconductor YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O6.7 to about 100 K.

$YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-y}$ 박막을 c축 방향으로 성장시키는데 고압 스퍼터링 방법이 저압 스퍼터링 방법에 비해 효과적인 것으로 알려져 있다. 우리는 500mtorr의 고압 스퍼터링 방법을 사용하여 $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-y}$ 박막을 $\alpha$축으로 성장시키는 연구를 수행하였다. 저압 스퍼터링 방법을 사용할 때보다 낮은 기판온도에 $\alpha$축 방향 성장이 이루어지며, 저압 스퍼터링 성장의 경우와는 달리 산소분압의 크기에 따라 성장 방향이 달라지지 않음을 발견하였다. 성장된 박막은 기대와 달리 매우 낮은 초전도 전이온도와 열등한 구조적 특성표면 특성을 보였다.

Effect of the laser shot number on the particulates density of the pulsed laser deposited YBa2Cu3O7-x thin films and the laser irradiated surface morphology of the YBa2Cu3O7-x bulk target have been investigated. Until 100 laser shots of cumulative irradiation, the films has the particulates density of ~103 mm-2. However, after 100 laser shots, the density was increased more than 10 times. This results has been explained by the change of particulate ejection path with the development of conical structure at the target surface.

본 연구에서는 rf magnetron 스퍼터링으로 (100) 사파이어 기판에 퇴적시킨 YBa$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$$O_{7-x}$박막을 열처리하기 위하여 급속 열처리 방법을 사용하였다. XRD, AES, 그리고 4단자 비저항 측정법을 사용하여 급속 열처리로 형성시킨 초전도체 박막과 기판사이의 상호확산을 조사하였다. 제조된 박막은 91K에서 Tc(onset)를 80K에서 Tc(zero)를 나타내었다. AES 분석 결과, 급속 열처리 방법의 경우 YBa$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$$O_{7-x}$ HTS 박막과 기판사이의 계면에서 항호확산이 감소되는 것을 확인하였다. XRD 분석 결과, 급속 열처리에 의해 형성된 HTS 박막은 주로 c-축이 기판의 표면에 수직인 구조를 가지고 있었다.

We calculated a difference between the YBa$_2Cu _3O_{7-x}$ superconductor (123 system) of critical temperature, 95 K and the YBa$_2Cu_4 O_8$ superconductors (124 system) of critical temperature, 80 K in Y-system superconductors using Extended Huckel Theory (EHT). The valence electron population (VEP), reduced overlap population (ROP) and net charge for the charged cluster models relating to the layer and the chain in 123 and 124 systems were compared. The VEPs of Cu atom in the layer of 123 and 124 systems populated d$_{z^2}$ orbital more than d$_{x^2-y^2}$ orbital, and in the chain of 123 and 124 systems populated d$_{y^2-z^2}$ orbital more than d$_{z^2}$ orbital. The ROP of the Cu(1)-O(1) in the layer of 123 system was larger than the value of the Cu(1)-O(2), but the ROP of the Cu(1)-O(2) in the layer of 124 system was larger than the value of the Cu(1)-O(1). The ROP of Cu(2)-O(4) in the chain of 123 and 124 systems were larger than the value of the Cu(2)-O(3). In 123 system the net charge values of the Cu in the layer was larger than the value of the Cu in the chain. However, in 124 system the net charge value of the Cu in the chain was larger than the value in the layer.
