Yutirium barium copper oxide (YBCO)

[digital ranger]

can YBCO be prepared in lab.?

 

[Stevedye56]

can YBCO be prepared in lab.?

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?

 

[Gokul43201]

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

 

[digital ranger]

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

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.
