Abstract
Abstract A superconducting member comprising a first film including least a single ceramic layer formed on the surface of a substrate of an arbitrary base material. A film of an oxide superconductor is formed on the first film. In a useful embodiment, the substrate is stainless steel, and the first ceramic layer by zirconium oxide. This superconducting member can be formed as a superconducting tape, a superconducting wire or the like.
