yutirium barium copper oxide (YBCO)

can YBCO be prepared in lab.?:biggrin: :approve:

can YBCO be prepared in lab.?:biggrin: :approve:

4BaCO3 + Y2(CO3)3 + 6 CuCO3 → 2 YBa2Cu3O{7-x} + 13 CO2 + (3+x)O2

thanks ,
I want to know wether it can withstand induction from an electron beam as a superconductor ,too?

Please explain that question. It's not clear what you are asking.

I've read that YBCO cannot withstand high currents....why?:confused:
And what are the limitations?:uhh:

Vaguely recall something about the lack of magnetic pinning.
Generally, some sort of lattic dislocation, that localized magnetic field lines freeing the rest of the surface.
I think this was adjustable, but don't recall if the additional dopeing was applicable to YBCO.
