摘要:
An oxide superconductor capable of realizing a high critical current density and its manufacturing method requiring only a low temperature heat treatment. An oxide superconductor has a superconductive layer with a composition of RE.sub.1 Ba.sub.2 Cu.sub.3 O.sub.7-x, where RE stands for any one of rare earth elements including Y, Eu, Gd, Dy, Ho, Er, and Yb, which is formed on the substrate by RE.sub.1 Ba.sub.2 Cu.sub.3 O.sub.7-x phase and CuO phase resulting from a decomposition of RE.sub.1 Ba.sub.2 Cu.sub.4 O.sub.8 phase, in which the CuO phase and micro-defects caused by the decomposition function as pinning centers. This superconductive layer is formed by applying a solution containing organic compounds of a plurality of metallic elements for constituting the oxide superconductive layer; calcining the substrate applied with the solution to obtain a calcined body in which the organic compounds contained in the solution are thermally decomposed; heating the calcined body to produce RE.sub.1 Ba.sub.2 Cu.sub.4 O.sub.8 phase; and decomposing the RE.sub.1 Ba.sub.2 Cu.sub.4 O.sub.8 phase into RE.sub.1 Ba.sub.2 Cu.sub.3 O.sub.7-x phase and CuO phase, to obtain the oxide superconductor.

When a cuprate oxide LnBa.sub.2 Cu.sub.3 O.sub.7-x (Ln=Y, Pr or Sm; 0.30.ltoreq.x.ltoreq.1) single crystal is heated for growing a film epitaxially on the crystal or for smoothing a damaged surface of the single crystal, many large protrusions occur on the surface of the oxide single crystal substrate or the film. The smooth surface of the oxides becomes rugged by the protrusions. According to the present invention, however, the oxide substrate or the oxide superconductor film can be heated in an atmosphere including oxygen of a partial pressure between 50 mTorr and 200 mTorr to prevent the protrusions from originating on the surface of the heated oxides.

摘要:
A rod 1 made of superconducting oxide is soaked in a molten normal conductor 2 to join the rod 1 and the normal conductor 2, whereby a superconducting oxide current lead is prepared. As a result, a contact resistance at the interface between the superconducting oxide and the normal conductor can be reduced. Consequently, Joule's heat at a current lead having a small cross sectional area can be suppressed low, which in turn realizes the reduction of the load on a freezer and the amount of evaporated cooling solvent, with respect to a superconducting coil.

There is provided a method for stably preparing rare earth (RE) 123 type oxide superconductors exhibiting outstanding superconductive properties in the atmosphere. In the method for preparing RE 123-type oxide superconductors by melting, cooling and solidifying a starting composition containing one or more than two kinds of RE such as Y, Sm, Nd, etc., and Ba, Cu and O as constituent elements to crystallize the RE 123-type oxide superconductors, the quantity of replacement between RE and Ba in "RE 123 crystals to be formed" is controlled by changing the initial constitution of the starting composition, for example, by changing the initial constitution to a more Ba-rich side than a composition on a 123-211 (or 422) tie line on a phase diagram to yield RE 123-type oxide superconductors in the atmosphere, which exhibits a critical temperature of 90 K or above and higher critical current density (Jc) in a magnetic field. A trace amount of Pt or CeO.sub.3 may be added to micronize the 211 (or 422) phase so as to further improve Jc.

In order to prepare a large yttrium or lanthanoid based oxide superconductor crystal of higher quality, a method and an apparatus which can stably control the shape of a pulled crystal and stably maintain growth of the crystal from a melt are provided. A crystal of an oxide having a structure of RBa.sub.2 Cu.sub.3 O.sub.7-X (R: yttrium or lanthanoid element, 0.ltoreq.X.ltoreq.1) is pulled from a raw material melt which is stored in a crucible by a rotary crystal pulling shaft. During such pulling, a position of the surface of the raw material melt is measured with time to obtain a lowering speed of the surface in a direction substantially parallel to the crystal pulling direction, for adjusting the lifting speed of the crystal pulling shaft by this lowering speed.
