ABSTRACTThe interactions of YBa2Cu3O7-δ type high Tc superconductors with other metals and oxides are of significant technical importance because of the need for i) proper stabilizing normal metal for composite superconductor wire, ii) nonreactive crucible materials for melt processing or crystal growth, and iii) suitable nonpoisonous substrate materials for thin film/thick film superconducting devices. For these reasons, and also for the purpose of exploring possible improvements in Tc, Jc and mechanical properties, the effects of various metal and oxide additions (1–40% by weight) have been investigated. It is shown that many of the elements in the periodic table deteriorate the superconducting properties to a various degree ranging from a broadened transition or reduced Tc to a complete elimination of the superconducting behavior. However, silver, gold and cadmium were relatively benign or slightly improved the properties. These benign materials have potential for practical application in superconducting composites.

Thin Superconducting Films

There is great interest in the growth of thin superconducting films of YBa2Cu3Ox on silicon, since this is a necessary first step in the use of this superconductor in a variety of possible electronic applications including interconnects and hybrid semiconductor/superconductor devices. However, initial experiments in this area showed that drastic interdiffusion of Si into the superconductor occurred during annealing if the Y-Ba-Cu-O was deposited direcdy on Si or SiO2, and this interdiffusion destroyed the superconducting properties. This paper describes the results of the use of a zirconia buffer layer as a diffusion barrier in the growth of thin YBa2Cu3Ox films on Si. A more complete description of the growth and characterization of these films will be published elsewhere.Thin film deposition was carried out by sequential electron beam evaporation in vacuum onto clean or oxidized single crystal Si wafers. The first layer evaporated was 0.4 μm of zirconia.

Practical applications of bulk YBa2Cu3O7−x materials have been limited because of their inadequate critical current density (jc) and poor mechanical properties. Several recent reports have indicated that the addition of Ag to the YBa2Cu3O7−x system is beneficial in improving both mechanical and superconducting properties. However, detailed studies concerning the effect of Ag on the microstructural development of the cermet system have been lacking. Here, we present some observations on the microstructural evolution in the YBa2Cu3O7−x/Ag composite system.The composite samples were prepared by mixing various amounts (2.5 - 50 wt%) AgNO3 in the YBa2Cu3O7−x nitrate precursor solution. These solutions were then spray dried and the resulting powders were either cold pressed or tape cast. The microstructures of the sintered samples were analyzed using SEM (Philips 515) and an analytical TEM (Philips 430T).The SEM micrographs of the compacts with 2.5 and 50 wt% Ag addition sintered at 915°C (below the melting point of Ag) for 1 h in air are displayed in Figs. 1 and 2, respectively.
