YBCO Magnetic Characterization Using the VSM

In this Educational Module, students will magnetically characterize a sample of YBa₂Cu₃O_7-d (YBCO) superconductor, the first material discovered with a superconducting critical temperature (TC) above liquid nitrogen's boiling temperature.

Several items are needed for this experiment, which include:

• Y₂O₃ Powder
• BaCO₃ Powder
• CuO Powder
• Mortar and Pestle
• Balance
• Weighing Paper or Weighing Boats
• Spatula or Scoopula
• Hydraulic Press
• 13 mm Press Die
• Tube Furnace
• Alumina Combustion Boat
