摘要:
A method of preparing a crystal of a Y-series 123 metal oxide is disclosed, in which a substrate is immersed in a liquid phase which comprises components constituting the metal oxide. The liquid phase contains a solid phase located at a position different from the position at which the substrate contacts the liquid phase. The solid phase provides the liquid phase with solutes which constitute the Y-series 123 metal oxide so that the solutes are transported to the position at which the substrate and the liquid phase contact, thereby permitting the Y-series 123 metal oxide to grow on the substrate as primary crystals.

The present invention is directed to a method for growing a superconductive film on a superconductive substrate in order to produce a bulk single crystal. According to a preferred embodiment, an oxide superconductive film of a material which is the same or similar to the substrate material is epitaxially grown at a temperature between 450.degree. C. and 800.degree. C. so that the film and substrate have the same lattice orientations. According to the present invention, problems associated with conventional films having non-superconductor substrates (e.g., MgO and SrTiO.sub.3) are avoided.

Disclosed are an oxide superconductor, and an optimum process for producing the same. The oxide superconductor comprises a base material phase including an oxide superconducting material, the oxide superconducting material including barium (Ba) at least and being free from grain boundaries, and precipitation phases contained in an amount of 1 to 50% by volume in the base material phase and dotted therein in a manner like islands, the precipitation phases being oxides of a metal selected from the group consisting of silicon (Si), aluminum (Al), zirconium (Zr), magnesium (Mg), titanium (Ti), strontium (Sr), tungsten (W), cobalt (Co) and vanadium (V), and being products of decomposition reaction of the base material phase. In the production process, the constituent materials are treated thermally at a partially melting temperature in order to give the above-described novel structure to the oxide superconductor. Thus, the precipitation phases are dotted in a manner like islands in a sea of the base material phase being free from the grain boundaries, and the precipitation phases work as the pinning centers. Therefore, the oxide superconductor exhibits a high "Jc" value.
