Ceramic superconductors uses.

Melt texturing of ybco was the first method used to attempt texturing in any ceramic superconductor. Many ceramic superconductors physically behave as superconductors of the second type. Science and technology 2002. The temperature at which resistance ceases is referred to as the transition temperature or critical temperature tc.

The first high temperature superconductor was discovered in 1986 by ibm researchers bednorz and müller 3 6 who were awarded the nobel prize in physics in 1987 for their important break through in the discovery of superconductivity in ceramic materials. The ceramic materials used to make superconductors are a class of materials called perovskites. Superconductivity is the complete disappearance of electric resistance in materials that are cooled to extremely low temperatures. The advantage of neutron diffraction for locating oxygen is obvious from fig.

In 1988 jin and co workers at at t bell laboratories reported that melt textured yba 2 cu 3 o 7 x had a j c of 17 10 7 am 2 in a field of 0t at 77 k measured over a short length. The superconductor we will be experimenting with is an yttrium y barium ba and copper cu composition. Hewat in encyclopedia of materials. 10 new high temperature superconductors.

Chemical formula is yba2cu3o7. This superconductor has a critical transition temperature around 90k well above liquid nitrogen s 77k. Conductive ceramics conductive ceramics superconductors.
