Abstract
Improved superconducting materials with high maximum magnetization, remanent magnetization and diamagnetic susceptibility can be made by enriching the base Y-Ba-Cu-O composition, Y:Ba:Cu=1:2:3, with respect to Y, or adding other trivalent or pentavalent elements (e.g. rare earths, Nb) to this composition. The mixed oxide materials are heated to melt a substantial fraction of their weight, quenched to a low temperature, re-heated to a temperature lower than the one initially used to effect melting, and annealed by slow cooling under air or oxygen.
