    Introduction Yttrium Barium Copper Oxide (YBCO) is a type of cuprate high-temperature superconductor characterized by the formula (often abbreviated to Y-123). These materials exhibit superconductivity—a phenomenon characterized by the complete absence of electrical resistance—at temperatures significantly higher than traditional superconductors, often above the boiling point of liquid nitrogen (-196 °C or 77 K), which makes…
