- Temperature Tc at which a superconducting material composed of a Ba-Ca-Cu-0 based composite oxide superconductor exhibits perfect superconductivity
This invention relates to a new manufacturing method that dramatically increases (R=O).

ある物質を超電導体と呼び、電力損失の全くない伝送媒
体としての各種の応用が提案されている。Background of the Invention Superconductivity is a phenomenon in which an object exhibits complete diamagnetic properties under certain conditions, and no potential difference appears even though a finite steady current is flowing inside the object. Substances in this state are called superconductors, and various applications have been proposed for them as transmission media with no power loss.

ものであると言われている。For example, if superconducting technology is applied to power transmission, it will be possible to significantly reduce the approximately 7% unavoidable transmission loss that currently occurs with power transmission. Furthermore, superconducting power storage is said to be the most efficient power storage method known today.

ネルギ物理実験装置などへの利用が期待されている。Furthermore, its application to electromagnets for generating high magnetic fields was realized at the earliest, and the field of use is extremely wide. In the field of power generation technology, along with MHD power generation and electric motors, it is expected to be a technology that advantageously promotes the realization of nuclear fusion reactions, which are said to consume more power than a power generator. Furthermore, in the field of transportation equipment, it is expected to be used as a power source for magnetic levitation trains, electromagnetically propelled ships, etc., and in the field of measurement and medicine, it is expected to be used in NMR, pi-meson therapy, high-energy physical experiment equipment, etc.

することも提、案されている。Furthermore, when multiple superconductors are weakly bonded, the Josephson effect, which is a macroscopic manifestation of a quantum effect, can be observed. A tunnel junction type Josephson device that utilizes this effect is expected to be an extremely high-speed and low-power switching device because the energy gap of the superconductor is small. Furthermore, since the Josephson effect on electromagnetic waves and magnetic fields appears as a sharp quantum decrease, it has been proposed and suggested that this element be used as an ultra-sensitive sensor for magnetic fields, microwaves, radiation, etc.

作製するものである。In the method of the present invention, in the process of proceeding with the sintering reaction of the raw material oxide powder for each of the above-mentioned superconductors, the above-mentioned substances are placed in an environment of high temperature and high pressure, thereby achieving superconductivity at 105 or 120. By creating a material consisting only of the phases shown and subjecting this material to heat treatment again,
The critical temperature TC (R=0) indicating perfect superconductivity is 100 to 1
A superconductor having a higher superconducting critical temperature Tc (R=0) than conventional superconductors, such as 0.05 or 100 to 111, is produced.
本発明においては、上記の超電導体を合成するためには
、圧力が10b以上の超高圧下で600℃以上に加熱す
る必要がある。焼結時の圧力が10b未満では超高圧下
での焼結の効果が顕れず、Tc(R=0)が低下する。In the present invention, in order to synthesize the above superconductor, it is necessary to heat it to 600° C. or higher under ultra-high pressure of 10 b or higher. If the pressure during sintering is less than 10b, the effect of sintering under ultra-high pressure will not be apparent, and Tc (R=0) will decrease.

る物質は得られずTc(R=O)は低下する。Although a higher pressure is preferable, the practical pressure range is up to 100 kb even if an ultra-high pressure apparatus used for diamond synthesis is used. Therefore, the pressure range for sintering should be set to 10b or more, 100
KB or less. Preferred pressure range is 10kb to 60k
It is b. The sintering temperature is 600°C to 1200°C, preferably 870°C to 950°C, more preferably 900°C. At sintering temperatures below 600° C., a completely single-phase material cannot be obtained and Tc (R=O) decreases.

れずTc(R=O)は低下する。Materials sintered under ultrahigh pressure have distortions and defects in their crystals, so they do not exhibit superconducting properties as they are. By reheating this material at a temperature of 350° C. or higher and lower than its melting point, a material that exhibits superconductivity can be obtained without distortions and defects in the crystal. Reheating temperature is 35
If the temperature is below 0°C, distortions and defects in the crystal cannot be removed sufficiently, and if reheated at a temperature above the melting point, a phase exhibiting superconducting properties will precipitate at 80°C, making it impossible to obtain a completely single-phase material. First, Tc (R=O) decreases.
