It’s really hard to see a language barrier affecting the sample synthesis instructions. It’s a few short paragraphs of “mix two things together and put them in the oven.”

It is amusing so many commentators cannot communicate novel materials science in Korean to the layperson. Where's your zero resistivity sample?

The paper is just a guide. Who would replicate likely needs to contact the authors to understand the implicit details of the recipe. That is process knowledge. There's a good reason world-leading lithography happens in that region. With luck, researchers and engineers will be able to refine and industrialize the process these coming years.

Apparently an important step is that he accidentally cracked one of the sealed quarts tubes after annealing.
