Abstract

Abstract An improved method for producing superconductive oxide substance, wherein a solution containing therein a plurality of elements to constitute the superconductive oxide substance is atomized into mists, then the thus atomized mists are transported on a carrier gas into a chemical reaction device, and, after the chemical reaction in this chemical reaction device, the superconductive oxide substance is deposited on a substrate in a desired shape, with further heat-treatment of the thus deposited superconductive oxide substance in an oxygen-containing atmosphere at a temperature ranging from 200° C. to 1,200° C. A method for producing superconductive oxide powder, wherein a solution containing therein a plurality of elements, which have been blended in a manner to exhibit the superconductive property by heat-treatment, is atomized into mists, then the atomized solution of the superconductive substance is heat-treated, and the resultant finely divided substance as heat-treated is separated and collected.
