Cermets of the Y 1Ba 2Cu 3O 7−δ superconductors

Conventional powder processing methods have been used to fabricate superconducting cermets, using non-noble metals. Two distinct classes of superconducting cermets have been made. The first expels magnetic fields at liquid N 2 temperatures. The second exhibits zero resistivity on a macroscopic scale. We report preliminary success in the fabrication of these cermets.
