  • A YBCO superconductor was prepared in a short time by a melt infiltration process that utilizes meting of $Ba_3Cu5O_8$ powder and the infiltration into a porous $Y_2BaCuO_5$ compact. The processing parameters such as a reaction temperature and time, and atmosphere (air and $O_2$) were controlled to establish the fabrication condition. The formation of a $YBa_2Cu_3O_x$, phase and the developed microstructure are reported.

  • Potassium doped $BaFe_2As_2$ superconducting thin films by using an ex situ pulsed laser deposition technique were fabricated in various conditions to find out an optimal growth condition. Controlled conditions were annealing temperature, annealing time, and mass of potassium. The $Ba_{1-x}K_xFe_2As_2$ thin films which has most good quality is fabricated at a condition of annealing temperature at $700^{\circ}C$, annealing time of 60 minutes, and 0.6 g of potassium lumps. In this condition we were able to fabricate good quality films with high transition temperature of ~ 39 K.

  • We have measured the Hall effect in infinite-layer Sr/sub 0.9/La/sub 0.1/$CuO_2$ thin films grown by molecular beam epitaxy. We do not observe $T^{2}$ dependence of the cotangent of Hall angle, which is commonly observed in other cuprate High-Tc superconductors. Therefore, this result cannot be interpreted within two different scattering mechanism based on charge-spin separation theory. The mixed-state Hall effect shows no sign anomaly, implying that tile hydrodynamic contribution of vortex core is negligibly small.

  • Electrical properties of liquid nitrogen ($LN_2$) and gaseous nitrogen($GN_2$) have become of great interest again since the discovery of high temperature superconductors . It is very important from a point of superconducting apparatus protection to elucidate breakdown characteristics in $LN_2$ and $GN_2$ at atmospheric and pressurized conditions Therefore. this paper studies the effect of pressure on the breakdown characteristics in $LN_2$ and $GN_2$. Af high voltage is applied to electrode system with uniform and non-unform field in various gap length. And Breakdown voltages of $LN_2$ and $GN_2$ are investigated under AC voltage for Pressure ranging from 0 and 0.5 MPa. This research presented basis information of electrical insulation design for liquid nitrogen immersed HTS power apparatus.

  • Research and development on superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) system have been done to realize efficient electric power management for several decades. Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute (KERI) has developed a 3MJ/750kV A SMES system to improve power quality in sensitive electric loads. It consists of an IGBT based power converter, NbTi mixed matrix Rutherford cable superconducting magnet, and a cryostat with HTS current leads. A computer code was developed to find the parameters of the SMES magnet which has minimum amount of superconductors for the same stored energy, and the 3MJ SMES magnet was designed based upon that. This paper describes the fabrication and experimental results of a 3MJ/750kV A SMES system.

  • By using a gas-tight electrochemical cell, we can perform high-temperature coulometric titration and measure electronic transport properties to determine the elecronic defect structure of metal oxides. This technique reduces the time and expense required for conventional thermogravimetric measurements. The components of the gas-tight coulometric titration cell are an oxygen sensor, Pt/yttria stabilitized zirconia(YSZ)/Pt, and an encapsulated metal oxide sample. Based on cell design, both transport and thermodynamic measurements can be performed over a wide range of oxygen partial pressure ($pO_2=10^{-35}$ to 1 atm). This paper describes the high-temperature gas-tight electrochemical cells used to determine electronic defect structures and transport properties for pure and doped-oxide systems, such as YSZ, doped and pure ceria $(Ca-CeO_2 \;and\; CeO_2)$, copper oxides and copper-oxide-based ceramic superconductors, transition metal oxides, $SrFeCo_{0.5}O_x,\; and \;BaTiO_2$.
