The project addresses some of the factors limiting the current             density of the new, high-temperature ceramic oxide superconducting              materials.  It is known that critical current density is much higher            along the basal plane of the orthorhomlic structure of the                      YBa2Cu3O7- material than along the C-axis perpendicular to the basal            plane.  This project will investigate the effect of precursors,                 mixing and heat treatment, grinding and separation of                           superconducting ceramic oxide powder.  Emphasis will be on                      developing schemes for separation of YBa2Cu3O7- powder based on its             morphological, compositional and size differences.  This may enable             orientation of the grains of bulk material preferentially along the             direction of current flow.
