The microstructure, mechanical and superconducting properties of (RE)BCO bulk single grains
High-temperature superconducting RE-Ba-Cu-O bulk single grains [(RE)BCO, where RE = Y, Gd, Eu, Sm or Nd] show a wide variability in their mechanical and magnetic flux trapping properties. These variations attribute primarily to variations in the microstructure of (RE)BCO bulk materials. While the …

The mechanical properties of Y-Ba-Cu-O and Gd-Ba-Cu-O/Ag bulk superconductor magnets
Single-grain RE-Ba-Cu-O bulk high temperature superconductors [or (RE)BCO, where RE = rare earth element or yttrium] have demonstrated significant potential for practical applications due to their ability to trap magnetic fields in excess of 17 T, which is an order of magnitude greater than what …

Pulsed field magnetization of composite superconducting bulks for magnetic bearing applications
Permanent magnets are essential components for many devices such as motors, which currently account for 45 % of global electricity consumption, generators and also superconducting magnetic bearings used for applications such as flywheel energy storage. But even the most powerful rare-earth magnets …

Improvement in the Growth and Superconducting Properties of Bulk Sm-Ba-Cu-O Superconductors Fabricated in Air
Sm-Ba-Cu-O (SmBCO), which is a member of rare-earth barium cuprate [(RE)BCO] high-temperature superconductors, has significant potential for practical applications due to its higher critical transition temperature (Tc), higher critical current density (Jc), the so-called ‘peak effect’ …
