METHODS OF MAKING A SUPERCONDUCTOR

摘要

The invention relates to methods of making a superconductor. A superconductor precursor layer (15) is deposited on a substrate (12) having optional intermediate or buffer layers (16, 18, 22) by a solution coating method and treated using relatively few temperature ramps, varying pressures of water vapor, and/or isothermal treatment steps. The methods and compositions can be used to form superconductor material intermediates preferably metal oxyfluoride intermediates of YBCO that have relatively few cracks and/or blisters.
