    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To achieve a laminated type IEJ junction, without having to creating a mesa structure, since the deterioration of the film quality of an interlayer insulation film cannot be avoided due to the regulation of deposition temperature, in a process for utilizing the mesa structure when creating the lamination type IEJ junction regarding a high-temperature superconducting device. SOLUTION: In the laminated structure of a YBCO thin film 12, an interlayer insulation film 13 that is made of In2O3, and a YBCO thin film 15 formed on an LSAT substrate 11, contact is made via a damage layer 12A that acts as the barrier layer of SNS(superconducting/normal conduction/superconducting) Josephson junction that is generated, when an opening 13A is formed in the opening 13A being formed at the YBCO thin film 12, the YBCO thin film 15, and the interlayer insulation film 13.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a superconducting sigma delta modulator which realize a high-resolution AD converter. SOLUTION: In the superconducting sigma delta converter, it is necessary that a time constant Ls/Rs of an integrator is sufficiently high in order to avoiding evils like a failure to raise the resolution or degradation of the linearity, however Ls cannot be made sufficiently large because it is necessary that a feedback quantity Φ0/L0 (Φ0: magnetic flux quantum) is not buried in the thermal noise from an overdamping Josephson element 4 of a comparator. In order to resolve this problem, a Josephson transmission line including an underdamping Josephson element is used as a magnetic flux quantum pair generation circuit 20; and when the Josephson element 4 of the comparator exceeds a threshold to output one single magnetic flux quantum, the magnetic flux quantum is multiplied in this circuit 20 to feed back plural single magnetic flux quanta to the integrator. Ls and the time constant are made sufficiently large in accordance with by increase in the feedback quantity to realize a high resolution.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an oxide superconductor capable of securing intense caught magnetic field and of maintaining its performance over a long period without being affected by internal/external force such as thermal stress and corrosive environment, and to provide a method for producing such a superconductor. SOLUTION: This oxide superconductor is set to be such 'a construction as to consist of an oxide superconductive bulk form with its outer surface provided with a resin-impregnated cloth-adhered coating layer' or 'a construction as to furnish the surface layer of the above oxide superconductive bulk form with a layer impregnated with a resin or a resin dispersed with a filler material of low linear expansion coefficient'. This oxide superconductor is obtained, for example, by covering the surface of an oxide superconductive bulk form with a cloth followed by holding the bulk form thus covered in a reduced pressure atmosphere and then contacting it with a liquid resin or filler- included liquid resin.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To form a thick oxide superconductive layer at a large deposition rate by immersing and lifting a base material formed with two oxide intermediate layers on the surface of a high-melting point metal in a fused solution containing an oxide superconductive layer constituting element. SOLUTION: A base material 1 is a flexible tape with the thickness of 0.1-0.5 mm and made of a high-melting point metal with the melting point of 1000-2000 deg.C such as hastelloy. A first intermediate layer 2 is made of MgO or NiO, and it is hardly reacted with the base material 1 and a second intermediate layer 3 even at a high temperature of 980-1100 deg.C. The second intermediate layer 3 is made of BaZrO3, it has low reactivity with the first intermediate layer 2 and a fused solution of an oxide supercondutor, and its crystal structure is somewhat approximate to the oxide superconductor. The first intermediate layer 2 and the second intermediate layer 3 are formed at the thickness of about 1 μm by the CVD method. The master film 4 of the oxide superconductor must have has same composition as that of an oxide superconductive layer 5, and it is formed at the thickness of 0.01-1 μm by the laser deposition of Y1Ba2Cu3Oy, for example.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an oxide superconductor capable of securing high trapped magnetic field and maintaining the performance for a long period of time without being affected by internal or external force such as heat stress or corrosive environment, and to provide a method for producing the same. SOLUTION: As shown in the figure as the example, the constitution of the oxide superconductor is made such a constitution that 'the oxide superconductor has an impregnated resin layer and is covered with a resin layer containing a dispersed fine filler material having a small coefficient of linear thermal expansion', or 'the oxide superconductor has an impregnated layer of a resin containing a dispersed fine filler material at the surface layer part' or 'the oxide superconductor has an impregnated layer of a resin containing a dispersed fine filler material and the external surface of it is covered by a resin containing a dispersed fine filler material'. Further, an appropriate amount of Ag may be suitably added to the bulk body. This oxide superconductor is obtained by bringing into contact with a liquid resin or a liquid resin containing the filler material under a reduced pressure atmosphere to infiltrate the resin, and further coating the external surface of the resultant material with the liquid resin containing the filler material, or subjecting the resultant material to other appropriate treatments.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an excellent surface flatness by preparing a laminated substrate made by forming an oxide superconductor film having a specified thickness or above on an insulator substrate by a liquid phase epitaxial method, and then mechanically polishing the oxide superconductor film on a rotating polishing disc using a specified polishing liquid. SOLUTION: An MgO substrate 15 is brought into contact with the surface of a YBCO melted liquid in a crucible 11 and is gradually pulled up while being turned, to form a YBCO film (oxide superconductor film) 16 of the thickness of 1 μm or above on the surface of the MgO substrate 15. The YBCO film 16 having an unevenness formed on the surface of the MgO substrate 15 is mechanically polished by a grinding disc 25 to be flattened. Since the YBCO film 16 deteriorates in its characteristics when it is brought into contact with water, use of water should be avoided. Therefore, a liquid containing no water dispersed with polishing grains having the average grain diameter of 0.05 μm or below is used for a polishing liquid. For example, an oil slurry made by dispersing alumina grains in hydrocarbon-system oil mainly of petroleum naphtha is used.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing RE123-based single crystal or the like, excellent in crystallinity, having definite single crystal composition before and after production of crystal, capable of continuously producing for a long time and simply controlling temperature. SOLUTION: This method for producing RE123-based single crystal comprises continuously pulling and growing RE123-based single crystal at solution surface temperature which is a temperature lower by 2-20 deg.C than peritectic crystallization temperature from the surface of solution obtained by dissolving a solution raw material such as 1 or 2 or more RE elements (RE element is Y, La, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Ho or Yb) as a solute into solvent melt of the formula nBaO-mCuO in which (n/m) ratio is (3/7) to (4/5). In this case, the solution surface temperature in melting of solution raw material is set so as to be same as solution surface temperature in pulling up and growing and oxygen partial pressure in melting is set to be lower than oxygen partial pressure in pulling up and growing.
