Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 化學工程研究所 === 81 === This research contains two parts of work.The first one is the melt-texture method which produces a poly -crystalline YBa2Cu3 O7-x ( Y123 ) superconductor by long time slow-cooling after the incongruent melting of 123. We selected the melt-texture polycrystalline Y123 as the sample for decoration, because this type of sample contains varieties of microstructure, such as large area of preferred-orientation , the minute 211 particles and the liquid phase.And we don't know the effect of these microstructures on the critical current density (Jc) and flux pinning. The second part of work includes the design, the production and the search for the best operating con -ditions for a magnetic decoration system. The deco- ration system consists of adapted vacuum evaporating coater and adapted cryogenics device. We find that the best operating conditions can be achieved by adjusting temperature, pressure and evaporating time so that contamination can be prevented.In this case, we can directly observe the decoration patterns on the surface of the superconductor after evaporation of ferromagnetic particles onto the 123 surface. To obtain the decoration patterns,the Y123 sample- s were cooled under a fixed magnetic field with or without a current passing through them.The decorated patterns were analyzed in order to reveal the nature of the pinning centers in the melt-tuxture Y123 sam- ples.
