Title: YBa sub 2 Cu sub 3 O sub x superconductor coil: Processing and properties

Abstract

Fabrication of multilayer superconductor coils using YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub x} (YBCO) will be described. In particular, three important aspects will be discussed: Heat treatment of the coils at reduced total pressure to avoid decomposition of the superconductor, application of Y{sub 2}BaCuO{sub 5} (211) as an insulator that is chemically compatible with YBCO during firing, and addition of silver to YBCO to improve its mechanical properties. The superconducting properties of representative coils will be presented.
