A method for producing an REBaCuO oxide superconductor having large magnetic levitation force, where RE is a rare earth element selected from the group consisting of Y, Sm, Eu, Gd, Dy, Ho, Er, and Yb, involves the steps of using a raw material mixture as the starting feed, heating the raw material mixture for partial melting, followed by cooling and solidification, pulverizing and mixing the resulting solid, shaping the resulting mixture into a given shape, placing or embedding nucleates on or in the resulting shape, followed by heating for partial melting, and cooling the resulting partial melt to a substantial temperature at which a superconducting phase starts to form, followed by slow cooling, whereby the superconducting phase is preferentially formed and grown from a nucleation site.

A process for producing an oxide superconductor, comprising putting a formed body of raw material powders for forming an oxide superconductor on silver or silver oxide within a pan which does not melt at the melting point of silver, heating the pan to a temperature higher than the melting point of silver to bring the formed body to a semi-molten state with the formed body being floated on molten silver, cooling the pan and taking the formed body out of the re-solidified silver. This process enables a large bulk material having a diameter of 10 cm or more to be produced without occurrence of cracking.

摘要:
Disclosed herein are high-temperature oxide superconductors of RBa.sub.2 Cu.sub.4 O.sub.8 type, with Ba partly replaced by Sr or Ca, or with R and Ba partly replaced by Ca and Sr, respectively, as represented by the chemical composition formula of R(Ba.sub.1-y Sr.sub.y).sub.2 Cu.sub.4 O.sub.8 or R(Ba.sub.1-z Ca.sub.z).sub.2 Cu.sub.4 O.sub.8 or (R.sub.1-x Ca.sub.x) (Ba.sub.1-y Sr.sub.y).sub.2 Cu.sub.4 O.sub.8. They exhibit superconductivity at high temperatures. Especially, the last one exhibits superconductivity at a higher temperature than the former two. All of them can be made with a less amount of Ba as a deleterious substance, and the first two have improved sinterability. The best results are obtained when they are produced by the process involving the hot hydrostatic pressure treatment of the mixture of raw materials at 850.degree.-1100.degree. C. in an atmosphere composed of an inert gas and oxygen. The process permits a wider selection of Ba raw materials.

The insulating film is etched to have an inclination portion. The first superconductive layer is etched using the etched insulating film as a mask, to have an inclination portion. A barrier layer is formed on a surface of the inclination portion of the first superconductive layer. A second superconductive layer is formed on the barrier layer and the inclination portion of the insulating layer.
