Large bulk YBaCuO superconductors prepared by melt processes exhibit unique macro properties such as strong repulsion of a permanent magnet and high magnetic flux density trapping. These properties are explained by the total pinning force of the bulk. Since sintered polycrystalline bulk materials include many weak links such as grain boundaries, the total pinning force is weak. As melt-processed bulk materials have much less number of grain boundaries, the total pinning force increases. These properties were further improved by elimination of grain boundaries in the large bulk superconductors. This was enabled by additional techniques to the melt processes such as seeding and unidirectional growth. Applications of the bulk superconductors have been proposed such as noncontact transportation bulk magnets and bearings. Although the possibility of these applications is not clear, the future of the bulk superconductors is expected to be hopeful.

The one-unit-cell-thick layer of YBCO covered by a PrBCO layer exhibits a superconducting transition with the onset temperature at 70K. A reduction of the onset temperature is found to be mainly due to a decrease of the hole carriers. The covering PrBCO layer has been found to provide the underlying YBCO layer with the carriers.The resistive transition for one-unit-cell-thick YBCO layer was independent of the magnetic fields parallel to a-b plane.

Obtained films were patterned on a meander shape by photolithography method to increase the sensitivity in the magnetic field. The linewidth was 100μm and the space between lines was 50μm. The sensitivity in magnetic field for this small size film was 66.18mV/gauss. The result indicated that it is possibile to miniaturize the magnetic detector by the patterning of the superconducting film.

TG-DTA measurements indicated that increase of Ag content in the green powders decreases melting points (partial and whole melting) of the powder, and increases the weight loss from 500 to 860°C. The formation of high-Tc (110 K) phase in the sintered specimen is enhanced significantly by Ag-doping of 1 mass% or more in the green powders.

Dissolution of Ba into the high-Tc phase was confirmed by EDX analysis. Ba-addition increases the c-axis length of the high-Tc phase and Tc(R=0) up to 119K. The growth of the high-Tc phase was found to be accelerated by Ba-addition.

One of the applications of high-Tc oxide superconductor is magnetic shielding. For example, it is very important to shield very weak fields produced in the human body from the geomagnetic field or fields generated by the electric instruments in order to detect precisely them.

x high-Tc superconductors with different critical currents and magnetizations were prepared by changing the sintering condition. The shielding efficiency in the cylinder was measured as functions of the shape factor of L/D of the cylinder and the internal position of the cylinder, where L and D are the lenght and inner diameter of the cylinder, respectively. The shielding efficiency, defined by the ratio of the transverse and applied fields, was logarithmically dependent on the shape factor and increased with the critical current and volume fraction of the superconducting component which is in proportion to the gradient of the initial magnetization curve. The efficiency, however, was independent of the magnitude of the magnetization and the frequency of the external AC magnetic field.

Bi(Pb)-Sr-Ca-Cu-O superconducting tubes with different wall thicknesses were fabricated to examine the wall thickness dependence of the magnetic shielding property. The external magnetic flux density, at which the flux starts to penetrate into the tube center, is referred as the shielding magnetic flux density. The shielding magnetic flux density was increased logarithmic with increasing the wall thickness. The wall thickness dependence of the shielding magnetic flux density was calculated using the critical state model in consideration of the magnetic field dependence of the critical current density. This calculated dependence agreed with the experimental one approximately.

We prepared superconducting Bi2Sr2CaCu2Ox, glass-ceramics by the melt-quenching method (glass-ceramic route) and examined the effect of annealing condition on their microstructures. In the sample annealed at 820°C for 24h (one step), the surface (<500 u m) had a homogeneous structure, but the large grain growth and the porous structure were observed in the inside of sample. In the sample annealed first at 700°C for 24h and then at 820°C 24h (two step), the homogeneous and dense structure without any pore was observed. The relation between the difference of microstructures and the formation mechanism of superconducting crystals was clarified. It was found that a liquid phase was created in the inside of bulk during the continuous heating to around 800°C and a rapid grain growth of superconducting crystals in the inside was due to the formation of this liquid phase.

Phase change of rapidly solidified Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O amorphous ceramics was investigated. Crystalization took place at 500°C, following shrinkage above glass transition. First cystalized phase was 2.4nm phase. While 3.Onm phase appeared at about 700°C, 2.4nm phase was still dominant below 800°C. When 2.4nm phase disappeared, smaller particles and fibre began to merge with coarser particles. Above 830°C 3.Onm phase were dominant, but phase separation took place in an atomized particle. Eventually long bill-like (Ca, Cu)Ox crystal grew out from each atomized particle, and Bi-rich part was simultaneously formed, which gave lower transition-melting temperature than that of mixed and calcined powders.

The disordered structure regions changed, however, to polycrystals composed of small grains without grain boundary second phase after annealing at 800°C for 1 hr. The densification mechanism of the Bi-superconducting ceramic powder during the hot-extrusion processing was discussed by considering the microstructural change.
