Abstract

$(Nd/Y)_{1.8}Ba_{}2.4Cu_{3.4}O_{7-x}$high $T_c$ superconductor was directionally grown by floating Bone melt growth process with a large temperature gradient in air. Cylindrical green rods of (Nd/Y)1.8 oxides were fabricated by cold isostatic pressing (CIP) method using rubber mold. Microstructures were observed by SEM and TEM and superconducting properties were measured by a SQUID magnetometer. Nonsuperconducting $(Nd/Y)_2BaCuO_5$ inclusions were uniformly distributed within the superconducting $(Nd/Y)Ba_2Cu_3O_x$ matrix. The directionally melt-textured (Nd/Y) 1.8 superconductor showed an onset Tc $\geq$ 90 K and a sharp superconducting transition.

부유대역용융성장법을 이용한 $(Nd/Y)_{1.8}Ba_{}2.4Cu_{3.4}O_{7-x}$[이하 (Nd/Y)1.8]계 고온초전도체를 대기 중에서 용융성장실험을 하였다. 용융성장에 사용된 (Nd/Y)1.8 시편은 rubber 몰드를 이용해 냉간정수압성형(CIP) 과정을 거쳐 길이방향 원통 형상으로 제조되었다. 용융성장 된 (Nd/Y)1.8 초전도체는 SEM, TEM 그리고 SQUID magnetometer를 이용해 미세구조 및 초전도특성을을 평가하였다. 특히 용융성장 된 (Nd/Y)1.8 초전도체의 SEM에 의한 미세구조 관측 결과 초전도상인 (Nd/Y)123 matrix 내에 비초전도상인 (Nd/Y)211 inclusions이 균질하게 분포되어 있는 것이 관측되었다. 또한 용융성장 된 (Nd/Y)1.8 초전도체는 90K에서 임계온도가 시작되어 77K 이상의 온도에서 포화되는 특성을 보였다.
