Abstract
The staff of the Materials Science Division at Argonne National Laboratory has made contributions across the entire field of high temperature oxide superconductors. A comprehensive program includes materials synthesis, phase identification, structure determination, superconducting and normal state properties, electron band theory, and conductor development. This paper will present results on the YBa2Cu3O7-x phase, including the structure determination using neutron powder diffraction at IPNS, single crystal measurements of magnetic anisotropy, and specific heat measurements of the bulk superconducting transition. Theoretical and experimental considerations of the electronic anisotropies are discussed.
