The present invention relates to a method of preparing an oxide
superconducting film, the method includes reacting a metal acetate
containing metal M selected from the group consisting of lanthanum,
neodymium and samarium with fluorocarboxylic acid having not less than
three carbon atoms, reacting barium acetate with fluorocarboxylic acid
having two carbon atoms, reacting copper acetate with fluorocarboxylic
acid having not less than two carbon atoms, respectively, followed by
refining reaction products, dissolving the reaction products in methanol
such that a molar ratio of the metal M, barium and copper is 1:2:3 to
prepare a coating solution, and coating a substrate with the coating
solution to form a gel film, followed by calcining and firing the gel
film to prepare an oxide superconducting film.
