Abstract

Melt-produced, high temperature superconductors have preferred compositions of R-Ba-Cu-O wherein R is chosen from the group of rare earth metals excluding: Praseodymium; Cerium; and Terbium. They can be made at a relatively low temperature of about 950° C, and the process allows fabrication of melt-produced high temperature superconductors of arbitrary shape.
