✦ Synopsis
~lhe surfaces of the high Tc superconductors La-Sr-Cu-O and Y-Ba-Cu-O have been characterized by the laboratory-accessible techniques of ultraviolet photoelectron electron spectroscopy, electron energy loss spectroscopy and Auger electron spectroscopy. The damage to the surfaces due to the time in ultrahigh vacuum and electron beam irradiation have been followed by the various techniques which indicate a loss of oxygen. 7he decomposition of the surfaces due to heating has also been investigated. Oxygen is seen to be liberated from the samples and, as evidenced in all spectroscopy techniques, copper is completely driven from the surfaces until insulating surface layers of La-Sr-O and Ba-O are formed.

A method to separate superconducting particles from sintered superconducting powder including non-superconducting components has been developed. It selects and condenses superconducting particles with making use of a force which acts on a particle in an inhomogenous magnetic field. The superconducti
Bulk Y-Ho-Ba-Cu-0 and Y-Gd-Ba-Cu-G samples, which were prepared by a "powder melting process" (PMP) method, have been investigated. The results indicate that J, can be improved and the melting temperature may be changed by Ho and Gd substitution. In our samples the field dependence of J. is rather w
