Description of the invention (1) The present invention relates to an electrochemical deposition method of superconductor REBaa Cu3 Οτ-χ. Low temperature electrochemical deposition method of superconductor REBa2 Cu3 〇7-χ in molten wing metal vapor rib flux. At present, liquid gas cooling in copper gas superconductors can be used to achieve superconductivity, which has led scientists to try to develop such superconductors into useful forms. Although scientists have worked hard in recent years, they still cannot make superconducting materials meet the requirements ( Because the chemical and thermal properties of such copper gas compounds are unstable). Obviously, the instability must be considered when synthesizing substances. Instability includes phase instability, vaporization volatility, and instability of vaporized copper at high temperatures. At present, some people use the metallized vapor of metal as a low temperature rib flux to overcome the above instability, such as Michael L. Norton and Tang Hongyi, US Patent No. 5,256, 260, which exposes an electrodeposition method, which is used at constant temperature and constant potential The three-electrode, single-chamber device operates at 260 t: to form a crystalline layer Ba-K-Bi-Ο on the anode (superconductivity accompanies crystallization, and the superconducting temperature is 32 ° K), only the phase The poor definition of the circle and the complexity of the interaction between the complex ions of the rib flux will limit the use of this low-temperature method in dioxins and tri-vapors (the conduction temperature cannot be higher than the liquid nitrogen region). The object of the present invention is to provide a new low-temperature electrochemical deposition method for the synthesis of cuprate superconductor crystals, to be distinguished by cooling with liquid nitrogen and accompanied by superconducting crystal REBa2 Cu3 〇7-χ. When making superconductor REBaz Cu3 〇7-χ crystals, gas or gasification agent must be sent to the growing crystal / solution interface.

Description of the invention (3) Gasification sodium, potassium hydroxide, argon gas rubidium and hydrogenation planer, of which potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide or A mixture of the two is preferred. The copper-based components may be dysprosium metal, vaporized copper or copper hydroxide, the barium-based components may be vaporized bait and barium hydrogenate, and the rare earth-based components may be rare earth elements (such as yttrium Y, europium Eu, neodymium Hd, Samarium Sm, spectrum Pr) gas and hydrogen compounds ,. The above components are placed in a three-electrode, single-chamber (the structure of which will be described later) to be melted and electrodeposited, and the atomic ratio of each component is as follows: rare earth element / copper shall not be less than 0.1, preferably 0.5 to 50 Between, barium / copper should not be less than 0.2, preferably between 1 and 100, and the weight ratio of all electrolytes (such as copper, bait, rare earth components) to rib flux (such as aged metal gasification) should be equal to Or less than 1. As mentioned earlier, the electrodeposition of REBa2 Cu3 Οτ-χ crystallographic image is performed in a three-electrode, single-chamber. Figure 1 shows a preferred embodiment of this chamber 10. The reactor 11 contains a platinum crucible 12, three electrodes (cathode 131, anode 132, and reference rod 133) are suspended in the effervescent compound 14 by the electrode support 13, of which reference The electrode 133 is closer to the anode 132 and farther from the cathode 131. The material of the three electrodes is platinum or silver (other materials are also acceptable). In this embodiment, a platinum wire electrode with a diameter of 1 mm is used. The entire platinum crucible 12 (including the ammonium compound 14 and the three electrodes 131, 132, 133) is placed in the chamber body 10, the inert gas is drawn out and then filled back into the chamber body 10 so that an inert atmosphere is maintained above the ammonium compound 14. In order to avoid gasification reactions in this system, it is necessary to maintain an inert atmosphere (gasification is quite rapid when the temperature rises). The heating element 16 is used to melt the constituent materials placed in the crucible 12, which is supported by the quartz tube 15 surrounded by the ring, and is also insulated by the quartz layer 17. The whole reactor 11 is placed on this paper scale. The Chinese national standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) is applicable. N.

Description of the invention (4) In the unit body 10, the cooling device 19 is used to prevent overheating, and the interior is covered with graphite felt 18 to make quartz The tube 15 can maintain isothermal. Nine-shaped hydride metal hydride is placed in the crucible 12 and melted. After the transparent rhenium compound is obtained, the other components and electrodes are placed in the crucible 12 and mixed at the same time to help dissolve. Once it reaches the operating temperature, it stops. Stir, and then start electrolysis, electrolysis can be carried out at a constant potential or constant current density, if it is a constant potential, the applied potential is usually 0.05V to IV (relative to the reference electrode), and preferably 0.15V to 0.6V, Constant voltage device (such as EG & G 273A high current constant voltage device) can provide constant potential. If constant current 3 density is used, the current density is usually between lwA / c # and 10mA / cnf, preferably between 10w A / c # and 2bA / cm2. EG & G 273A can also provide constant current density. The deposition starts immediately on the anode, but the deposition stops when the intestinal pole is removed. Example 1) 80 grams of reagent-grade KOH, 0.1M Euz 〇3, 0.2M Ba (0H) 2 and 0.3M Cu (OH) 2 were mixed in the crucible of Figure 1, and the reactor temperature was increased to 260t , Electrodeposition with platinum wire electrode and 0.2 volt fixed potential under nitrogen atmosphere for one hour, quickly depositing polycrystalline black crystals on the anode, the current efficiency is about 35%, using Jeol JSM-8 40A scanning electron display Jing Lai 3 took photos of the crystals and made a visual inspection. The results are shown in Figure 2. The crystal growth direction is on the ab plane, and the average crystal size is about 100 wm. Figure 3 shows the X-ray deflection results using the MAC MXP3 X-ray diffraction system. It is obvious from the figure that the sample contains EuBa2 Cu3 〇7-χ.
