Creation and Analysis of YBa2Cu3O7-δ by Citrate Synthesis, Pyrolysis, and Furnace Oxygenation
By Kaiwan, Niels-Oliver
The proposed project aims to prepare and characterize samples of superconducting YBCO via citrate synthesis, pyrolysis, and furnace oxygenation processes. Upon successfully creating solid YBCO pellets, we hope to expand this project to thin-film applications via chemical vapor deposition, allowing for wide-scale creation of high-temperature superconducting surfaces.
