This SBIR Phase I Award emphasizes research on practical  stable                contacts to high transition temperature ceramic superconductors.                the research could lead to the development of multilayer                        structures of (metal-conductor/transition-layer/superconductor)                 which are stable during sintering to temperatures  near 9000C and               which maintain low contact resistance to the superconductor.                    These multilayer contacts will be stable to thermal cycling above               and below the superconducting critical temperature.  Conducting                 oxide films will be deposited on appropriate substrates, and then               superconducting oxides will be deposited on these by screen                     printing.  The specimens will then be sintered at the                           appropriate high temperature.  Chemical analysis of the films                   will be made using scanning auger microscopy and energy                         dispersive spectroscopy on a scanning electron microscope.                                                                                                      This material structure would be suitable for fabrication of                    superconducting wire and cable with superconducting critical                    temperature over 770K.  This wire would be used for                             superconducting magnets, power transmission, etc.
