<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a long oxide superconductor exhibiting excellent superconducting properties in which the resistance component is small in an oxide superconducting layer provided on a weld zone even if a substrate produced by integrating a metal tape by welding is provided. <P>SOLUTION: The oxide superconductor includes a substrate produced by butt-welding the ends of a metal tape, and an oxide superconducting layer and a protective layer provided above the substrate. The butt-welded portion of the ends of a metal tape has a flat surface with a level difference of 20 nm or less. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
