| Research Abstract |
The following results have been obtained in this research.
(1) By the addition of a suitable amount of silver (7 wt %), the zero-resistance temperature of Y-Ba-Cu-O (YBCO) increased by 3 K and its critical current density became 9 times larger than that of YBCO without Ag.
(2) A magnetic force sensing system using a highly sensitive force sensor has been developed to measure two dimensional distribution of the Meissner effect. Using this system, it was founded that uniformity of superconductivity in a superconductor is affected strongly by the distribution of its components.
(3) The maximum shielded magnetic flux densities of cylinders made with bulk YBCO were about several tens Gauss. But the maximum shielded flux density was increased successfully to 400 G by imposing a cylinder made with some chiep ferro-magnetic material over the YBCO cylinder.
(4) We succeeded in oxidizing a Cu cylinder surface in a state of thin film and molding a superconducting YBCO thick film on the cylinder surface.
(5) The maximum shielded magnetic flux density of a thick film YBCO cylinder made as a trial was 30 mG because the YBCO film was porous. The magnetic shielding effect of thick YBCO films will be improved by making the film with higher YBCO density.
