Enhanced superconducting performance in solution-derived YBCO-BaZrO_3composite film

YBa_2 Cu_3 O_(7-δ)/BaZrO_3(YBCO/BZO) composite film with enhanced flux-pinning performance was prepared on LaAlO_3(LAO) substrate via a fluorine-free sol-gel method in combination with a novel photosensitive sol-gel lithography technique.Owing to the difference of lattice mismatch between the interfaces of YBCO/LAO and YBCO/BZO,high-density stacking faults were successfully introduced into YBCO matrix,which has been confirmed by XRD and HRTEM analysis.Magnetization measurement results indicate that YBCO/BZO composite film has a stronger current-carrying capacity than the pure YBCO film especially under applied magnetic fields.However,the critical current density of YBCO/CeO_2 composite film is much lower than that of the pure YBCO film at all the applied magnetic fields due to the chemical reaction between YBCO and CeO_2.Therefore,it can be concluded that the flux-pinning performance of YBCO film can be improved by the lattice distortions within YBCO matrix as long as the metal oxide microarrays cannot react with YBCO films.

YBCO超导体中化学键与电子结构

本文用半经验CNDO/2量子化学计算方法,对YBCO的结构单元及晶胞作了计算,结果指出:1.采用簇模型不能较好地反映YBCO晶体性质。2.YBCO中Cu(2)的氧化态为( 2),Cu(1)的氧化态为( 1.5),Cu(1)也可能是在( 2)与( 1)两个氧化态之间共振。3.铜的电子组态分别为Cu(2)(d_(xy)~2d_(x2)~2d_(yz)~2d_(x~2-y~2)~1d_z~(2_2)),Cu(1)(d_(xy)~2d_(xz)~2]d_(yz)~2d_(x~2-y~2)~2d_(z~2)~1)。这种组态是YBCO形成层状氧缺位结构的主要原因。4.超交换作用在YBCO中普遍存在,但铜-氧面间这种作用最大,超导电流在其间进行最为有利。5.Y,Ba在YBCO中的主要作用是促成Cu(d_(xy))与O(P)形成最高占领杂化带。     

Sm2O3掺杂Ce2O3的加入量对YBa2Cu3O7-δ界面性能的影响

固体氧化物燃料电池(SOFC)具有稳定性高、寿命长、污染低等优点,是二十一世纪的绿色能源之一。当前SOFC阴极通常采用掺杂的ABO3钙钛矿型材料。这类材料在高温下具有较高的导电率和催化活性,但中温化是SOFC的趋势,高温下常用的La(Sr)MnO3阴极材料在中温下性能下降,不能满足中温下电导率的要求。本论文尝试采用柠檬酸燃烧法来制备YBa2Cu3O7-δ,并在YBCO中加入一定量的Sm2O3掺杂的Ce2O3(SDC)作为SOFC的阴极材料,通过对阻抗分析,研究了SDC掺杂量、烧结温度等对该阴极材料性能的影响。实验结果表明:随着SDC的掺杂量x(0≤x≤50%)和烧结温度的升高,阴极材料的界面阻抗减小。在SDC的掺杂量为50%时,且在800℃下烧结得到的烧结体界面阻抗最小,其界面比电阻仅为0.1353ohm/cm2(800℃),这标志着掺杂SDC的YBCO作为中温固体氧化物燃料电池的阴极材料时非常具有发展前景的。

Addition of nanoparticle dispersions to enhance flux pinning of the YBa2Cu3O7-x superconductor

Following the discovery of type-II high-temperature superconductors in 1986 (refs 1, 2), work has proceeded to develop these materials for power applications. One of the problems, however, has been that magnetic flux is not completely expelled, but rather is contained within magnetic fluxons, whose motion prevents larger supercurrents. It is known that the critical current of these materials can be enhanced by incorporating a high density of extended defects to act as pinning centres for the fluxons. YBa2Cu3O7 (YBCO or 123) is the most promising material for such applications at higher temperatures (liquid nitrogen). Pinning is optimized when the size of the defects approaches the superconducting coherence length ( approximately 2-4 nm for YBCO at temperatures < or =77 K) and when the areal number density of defects is of the order of (H/2) x 10(11) cm(-2), where H is the applied magnetic field in tesla. Such a high density has been difficult to achieve by material-processing methods that maintain a nanosize defect, except through irradiation. Here we report a method for achieving a dispersion of approximately 8-nm-sized nanoparticles in YBCO with a high number density, which increases the critical current (at 77 K) by a factor of two to three for high magnetic fields.

Structure and transport studies on nanometer YBCO/PBCGO multilayers

We have fabricated M doped （M = Al, Co, Fe, Ga, Ni and Zn） PrBa2Cu3O7（PBCO）, i.e. PrBa2（CU1-xMx）3O7. The doping levels x are 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, and 0.20. X-ray data indicated no significant second phase for substituting Cu by Al, Co, Fe and Ga up to 20%. However impurity phases were detected for Ni and Zn substituted samples with doping levels equal to and higher than 15%. At 77 K the electrical resistivity of these compounds is orders in magnitude higher than that of PBCO. We also found that although the lattice parameters in the doped samples differ from PBCO, all samples remain orthorhombic. The lattice parameters of the doped sample are very close to those of YBa2CU3O7-δ （YBCO） and PBCO. For this reason these compounds are better materials to be used as the I-layer for YBCO SIS junctions. Results of structural and transport studies on 2000 A thick PrBa2[Cu0.80G0.2]3O7 （PBCGO） and YBCO/PBCGO multilayers are presented in this paper.     

Fault Current Limitation with Superconducting YBCO Thin Films

The behavior of YBCO/metal bilayers under transport currents was explored in the framework of fault current limitation (FCL). Properties of the superconducting-normal transition were first studied phenomenologically during sweep current experiments. For current rates higher than 500A/s, the transition into the normal state was based on non-thermal phenomena and was characterized by a flux creep regime ended by a jump into the normal state. At lower sweep rates, a total diversion of the current in the metallic shunt was observed for temperatures higher than 85 K. In this regime, a partial recovery of the superconducting state took place due to a finite thermal resistance between the superconducting and the metallic films. These two properties of partial diversion into the shunt and of fast switching for a quick rise of the current during a default were exploited for current limitation at 77 K. FCL experiments at 50 Hz show that YBCO/Au bilayers limit the current in about 1 ms at a value of 2.5/c by developing electrical fields as high as 3 kV/m. Moreover, a recovery of the zero resistance state could occur under rated mode. A straightforward application of this property would be the transformer connection. Finally, results on DC current limitation and recovery under nominal mode were presented for the first time.
