Abstract

Joining technology for ceramic superconductors is currently a major problem. The possible reactions which occur at ceramic superconductors/metal interfaces are discussed and examples are shown of interfaces between YBa2Cu3Ox and Nd1.85Ce0.15CuO4-x vs. a series of metals (Ag, Ni, Fe) now being considered for joining and cladding applications. Various characterization techniques, including EPMA and x-ray mapping, are utilized for analyzing the spatial distribution of reaction products. In a composite configuration, Ag interlayer is found to promote interfacial reactions.
