To ensure a well-oriented crystal structure, there is provided a process of producing an oxide superconductor of a Y--Ba--Cu--O system with a composition having an atomic ratio Y:Ba:Cu of 1.0-2.0:2.0-2.5:3.0-3.5, the process comprising the steps of: preparing a semimelt including solid and liquid phases and consisting of Y, Ba, Cu and O in the atomic ratio; and solidifying the semimelt to form the oxide superconductor by so controlling a moving speed of a solidification front to have two components of different values in two perpendicularly intersecting directions.
摘要:
A composite material having a plurality of sections integrated into a unitary structure and each including a bulk of a superconductive metal oxide of RE--Ba--Cu--O wherein RE represents a rare earth element, the bulk of each of the sections having pinning centers and capable of trapping a magnetic field. A first one of the sections has a superconductive current density different from that of a second one of the sections. The composite material may be produced by assembling preformed respective sections into a unitary structure or by immersing one of the sections in a solution to grow crystal of Y--Ba--Cu--O superconductive on that section, followed by trimming.
