  • High temperature superconductor $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$ (YBCO) films have been grown by in-situ electron beam evaporation on artificial metal tapes such as ion-beam assisted deposition (IBAD) and rolling assisted biaxially textured substrates (RABiTS). Deposition rate of the YBCO films is $10{\sim}100{\AA}/sec$. X-ray diffraction shows that the films are grown epitaxially but have inter-diffusion phases, like as $BaZrO_3\;or\;BaCeO_3$, at their interfaces between YBCO and yttrium-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) or $CeO_2$, respectively. Secondary ion mass spectroscopy depth profile of the films confirms diffused region between YBCO and the buffer layers, indicating that the growth temperature ($850{\sim}900^{\circ}C$) is high enough to cause diffusion of Zr and Ba. The films on both the substrates show four-fold symmetry of in-plane alignment but their width in the -scan is around $12{\sim}15^{\circ}$. Transmission electron microscopy shows an interesting interface layer of epitaxial CuO between YBCO and YSZ, of which growth origin may be related to liquid flukes of Ba-Cu-O. Resistivity vs temperature curves of the films on both substrates were measured. Resistivity at room temperature is between 300 and 500 cm, the extrapolated value of resistivity at 0 K is nearly zero, and superconducting transition temperature is $85{\sim}90K$. However, critical current density of the films is very low, ${\sim}10^3A/cm^2$. Cracking of the grains and high-growth-temperature induced reaction between YBCO and buffer layers are possible reasons for this low critical current density.

  • The melting temperature and critical temperature (Tc) of YBa$_2$Cu$_3$Ox with deferent content impurities of PbO and BaPbO$_3$ were studied. When the PbO was used as addition in YBa$_2$Cu$_3$Ox, although the melting point could be reduced, the superconductivity (the transition wide, ΔTc) became poor. From the XRD pattern of the sintered mixture of YBa$_2$Cu$_3$Ox and PbO it was known that there is a reaction between YBa$_2$Cu$_3$Ox and PbO, and the product is BaPbO$_3$. In the process of the reaction the superconducting phase of YBa$_2$Cu$_3$Ox was decreased and in the sample BaPbO$_3$became the main phase. Therefore the superconductivity was reduced. BaPbO$_3$was chosen as the impurity for the comparative study. The single phase BaPbO$_3$was synthesized by the simple way from both mixtures of BaPbO$_3$and PbO, BaPbO$_3$and PbO$_2$. Deferent contents of BaPbO$_3$(10%, 20%, 30%) were added in the YBa$_2$Cu$_3$Ox. By the phase analysis in the XRD patterns it was proved that there were not reactions between YBa$_2$Cu$_3$Ox and BaPbO$_3$. When BaPbO$_3$was used as impurity in YBa$_2$Cu$_3$Ox the superconductivity was much better than PbO as impurity in YBa$_2$Cu$_3$Ox But the melting point of YBa$_2$Cu$_3$Ox with BaPbO$_3$could not be found when the temperature was lower than 1000 $^{\circ}C$ in the DTA measurement.

  • We have grown $MgB_2$ superconducting thin films on the SiC buffer layers by means of hybrid physical-chemical vapor deposition (HPCVD) technique. Prior to that, SiC was first deposited on $Al_2O_3$ substrates at various temperatures from room temperature to $600^{\circ}C$ by using the pulsed laser deposition (PLD) method in a vacuum atmosphere of ${\sim}10^{-6}$ Torr pressure. All samples showed a high transition temperature of ~40 K. The grain boundaries of $MgB_2$ samples with SiC layer are greater in amount, compare to that of the pure $MgB_2$ samples. $MgB_2$ with SiC buffer layer samples show interesting change in the critical current density ($J_c$) values. Generally, at both 5 K and 20 K measurements, at lower magnetic field, all $MgB_2$ films deposited on SiC buffer layers have low $J_c$ values, but when they reach higher magnetic fields of nearly 3.5 Tesla, $J_c$ values are enhanced. $MgB_2$ film with SiC grown at $600^{\circ}C$ has the highest $J_c$ enhancement at higher magnetic fields, while all SiC buffer layer samples exhibit higher $J_c$ values than that of the pure $MgB_2$ films. A change in the grain boundary morphologies of $MgB_2$ films due to SiC buffer layer seems to be responsible for $J_c$ enhancements at high magnetic fields.

  • To improve in-field critical current densities ($J_c$) of $GdBa_2Cu_3O_{7-{\delta}}$ (GdBCO) coated conductors(CCs) fabricated by the reactive co-evaporation by deposition and reaction (RCE-DR) process, employing the nominal composition of Gd:Ba:Cu=1:1:2.5, we tried to refine the $Gd_2O_3$ particles trapped in the GdBCO superconducting matrix. For this purpose, we carefully selected the processing conditions on the stability phase diagram of GdBCO for this composition. By lowering the growth temperature of $Gd_2O_3$ in the liquid, we could refine the average particle size of $Gd_2O_3$ particles trapped in the GdBCO matrix and also achieve the zero-resistive transition temperatures ($T_{c,zero}$) of 92.3~94.2 K. Unfortunately, however, it was unsuccessful to achieve enhanced in-field $J_c$ values from these samples because of an air-contamination of the amorphous precursor film before its conversion into crystalline GdBCO film, suggesting that any exposure of the amorphous precursor film to air is fatal in obtaining high performance GdBCO CCs via the RCE-DR process.

  • We investigate the effect of thermal annealing on $MgB_2$ thin films with thicknesses of 400 and 800 nm, irradiated by 350 keV C-ions with a dose of $1{\times}10^{15}atoms/cm^2$. Irradiation by low-energy C-ions produces atomic lattice displacement in $MgB_2$ thin films, improving magnetic field performance of critical current density ($J_c$) while reducing the superconducting transition temperature ($T_c$). Interestingly, the lattice displacement and the $T_c$ are gradually restored to the original values with increasing thermal annealing temperature. In addition, the magnetic field dependence of $J_c$ also returns to that of the pristine state together with the restoration of $T_c$. Because $J_c$(H) is sensitive to the type and density of the disorder, i.e. vortex pinning, the recovery of $J_c$(H) in irradiated $MgB_2$ thin films by thermal annealing indicates that low-energy C-ion irradiation on $MgB_2$ thin films primarily causes lattice displacement. These results provide new insights into the application of low-energy irradiation in strategically engineering critical properties of superconductors.

  • In this article, Pb2Ba1.7Sr0.3Ca2Cu3O10+δ superconductor material was synthesized using conventional solid-state reaction method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis demonstrated one dominant phase 2223 and some impurities in the product powder. The strongest peaks in the XRD pattern were successfully indexed assuming a pseudo-tetragonal cell with lattice constants of a = 3.732, b = 3.733 and c = 14.75 Å for a Pb-Based compound. The crystallite size and lattice strain between the layers of the studied compound were estimated using several methods, namely the Scherrer, Williamson-Hall (W.H), size-strain plot (SSP) and Halder Wagner (H.W) approach. The values of crystallite size, calculated by Scherrer, W.H, SSP and H.W methods, were 89.4540774, 86.658638, 87.7555823 and 85.470086 Å, respectively. Moreover, the lattice strain values obtained by W.H, SSP and H.W methods were 0.0063240, 0.006325 and 0.006, respectively. It was noted that all crystallite size results are consistent; however, the best method is the size-strain plot because it gave a value of R2 approaching one. Furthermore, degree of crystallites was calculated and found to be 59.003321%. Resistivity analysis suggests zero-resistance, which is typical of superconducting materials at critical temperature. Four-probe technique was utilized to measure the critical temperature at onset Tc(onset), zero resistivity Tc(off set), and transition (width ΔT), corresponding to temperatures of 128 K, 116 K, and 12 K, respectively.

  • 최근 geometrical frustration 현상 및 멀티페로익 효과가 Cr 이온의 나선 스핀 구조에 기인하는 것으로 해석되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 Cr 이온 자리에 Fe을 치환하여 $CoCrFeO_4$를 제조하였고, $M\"{o}ssbauer$ 분광법에 의해 자기적 미세 구조의 상관관계를 연구하였다. 졸겔법을 이용하여 Fd3m의 cubic 스피넬 구조를 갖는 $CoCr_2O_4,\;CoCrFeO_4$ 단일상을 합성하였고, Rietveld 법에 의한 분석결과 격자상수는 $a_0=8.340$에서 $8.377{\AA}$로 증가 하였으며, Cr, Fe 이온은 모두 팔면체 구조에 위치하는 것으로 분석되었다. 자기 상전이 온도는 $T_N=97K$에서 320 K로 증가하였으며, 상호작용의 변화에 따라서 field cooled 온도에 따른 자화 곡선의 변화를 관측하였다. $M\"{o}ssbauer$ 스펙트럼 분석결과 4.2 K에서 공명흡수선에 대한 초미세자기장($H_{hf}$) 값은 각각 507, 492 kOe 정도로 나타났으며, 이성질체 이동치($\delta$)는 0.33, 0.34 mm/s 정도로 Fe 이온상태가 둘 다 +3 가의 이온상태임을 알 수 있었다.
