Major advances have been made during the last decade in the processing of
ceramic, high temperature superconductors (HTS). High temperature super-
conductor materials are layered oxide compounds, which exhibit complex
c he m is t ry i nc l ud i ng no n-stoi c h i o me tr y and defects (i .e ., dislocations, stacking
faults, and intergrowths).
For most large-scale, bulk applications of HTS, long lengths of flexible wires car-
rying large amounts of supercurrents are required. It has been well established
that in order to achieve this long range, biaxial or triaxial crystallographic tex-
turing of the superconductor is necessary. Significant efforts are now directed
at attempts to fabricate long lengths of near single crystal-like superconducting
wires by epitaxial growth on biaxially textured substrates. Typically these sub-
strates comprise either a biaxially textured metal substrate with epitaxial oxide
buffer layers, or an untextured metal substrate and biaxially textured oxide
buffer layers. Techniques of substrate fabrication, which have received the most
interest, include IBAD (ion-beam assisted deposition), RABiTS (rolling assisted
biaxially textured substrates) and ISD (inclined substrate deposition). Epitaxial
growth ofYBa2Cu30, (YBCO) and oxides on such substrates can be accom-
plished by a variety of techniques including pulsed laser ablation (PLD), electron
beam evaporation, sputtering, chemical corn bustion vapor deposition (CCVD),
jet vapor deposition, ex-situ BaF, process, ex-situ sol-gel techniques, and liquid
phase epitaxy (LPE).
For other bulk applications, large, single crystal-like pucks of the superconductor
are required. Applications requiring large domain levitators include frictionless
bearings for flywheels, contact-less transportation, damping, flux-trap magnets,
magnetic shields, and current leads. The superconducting material of choice in
this case is melt-processed YBCO.
Lastly, basic information about HTS materials concerning phase diagrams, meas-
urement of physical properties, characterization,a nd effects of various defects
including grain boundaries on supercurrent transmission are of great interest
and importance for further developments in this field.
This proceedings volume contains papers given at the Processing of High
Temperature Superconductors symposium held during the I 04th Annual
Meeting ofThe American Ceramic Society (ACerS),April 28-May I, 2002, in St.
Louis, Missouri. The symposium focused on the above-mentioned issues per-
taining to HTS materials as well as the following areas:
