In the first part is presents the theoretical principle on structure and properties
of materials scpraconducting from the system Y-Ba-Cu-O.
Superconducting materials are materials that present no resistance to electric current
flow.
APPLICATIONS OF MATERIALS SUPRACONDUCTING

– one of the most important areas for the use of superconducting materials is
biomagnetism;
– leachate magnetic is another application where supraconducting have a very
good performance (transport vehicles);
– to electrical generators, electrical generators which using superconducting are
more efficient than conventional generators of copper;
– in obtaining magnet solenoids used high in field physics at high diversion and
focusing beams of particles,so in the construction of particle accelerators, so
in the construction of nuclear reactors,to installations obtaining plasma.
Is known over 1000 superconducting materials of type: simple elements,
compounds, alloys, ceramic oxides.
Currently the major interest is focused on more rigorous investigation of the
properties of Y - Ba - Cu - O and improving performance in electrical, magnetic,
mechanical, etc., through their achievement in the form of thin layers, films, material
and technology has been not only aiming at the basic research but also to the
technical use of them.
Classes of superconducting addressed with priority are:
– type 123 with hisv representative YBa2Cu3O7-δ with Tc ≈ 92 K;
– based on Bi by type Bi2Cu2Sr2Cu3Ox with Tc ≈ 110 K;
– based on Tl by type Tl2Ba2Ca2Cu3O10 with Tcmax = 125 K.
In the second part are presented the experimental research on obtaining and
characterization structural by x-ray diffraction of materials superconducting.
It was analyzed three samples obtained under different conditions of
processing which have stressed the present of sipraconducting YBa 2Cu3O7-δ.
From difractometric analysis result that in all cases analyzed the compound
sipraconducting is present.
