Microstructural Development and Superconducting Parameters of the YBa2Cu3O7-delta Coated Conductor
A coated conductor is generally fabricated by depositing a high Tc superconducting layer onto a flexible metallic substrate, using intermediate buffer layers to prevent chemical interaction. In order for the superconductor to be capable of carrying a high current density, its grains must have good …

Increased critical current density in rapidly grown RE-based cuprate superconducting coated conductors
Coated conductor wire using superconducting Rare-earth-Ba2Cu3O7-x is a technology capable of producing many exciting new and improved devices, with applications from MRI magnets to fusion power plants. However, to be successfully commercialised the cost of performance of the wires must be improved. …

Grain boundary networks in RABiTS based YBa2Cu3O7[-delta] coated conductors
… current limitations found in YBa2Cu3O7[-delta] coated conductors prepared by the "rolling assisted biaxially textured substrate" (RABiTS) approach. For this purpose a buffer layer system composed of CeO2 and yttria-stabilised zirconia, and subsequently a YBa2Cu3O7[-delta] film were …

Annealing Cryogenically Irradiated High TemperatureSuperconductors with Current Pulses
… engineered from high temperature superconductors (HTS) made of Rare Earth Barium Copper Oxide (REBCO) to confine a thermonuclear grade plasma. The HTS performance must be predictable despite the radiation damage caused by fast neutrons from fusion reactions that damage to the REBCO …

Enhanced High-Field Flux Pinning in YBa2Cu3O7-x Thin Films Through Engineering of Ba2YTaO6 Artificial Pinning Centres
Commercial coated-conductor tapes based on the high-temperature superconductor YBa2Cu3O7 are considered essential for fabricating high-field compact fusion magnets. An essential aspect in the development of these magnets is an understanding of the most effective pinning centre materials at low …

Structural and Electromagnetic Study of Heavily Doped ZR-Added REBCO Coated Conductors Fabricated by Reel-To-Reel MOCVD
High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) Coated Conductors (CCs) based on epitaxial REBa2Cu3O7-δ (REBCO, RE = rare earth) films with superior mechanical strength and high current carrying capacity are being developed for various large-scale electric power and magnetic applications. The critical …

Development of (Re)BaCuO Coated Conductors by Liquid Phase Epitaxy
Since the discovery of high-temperature superconductors, there has been a worldwide effort towards the development of processes for fabricating coated conductors for power applications. Most of these processes are based on vapour phase deposition techniques that have relatively low growth rates. A …

Study of high temperature superconducting tapes for applications in high-field magnets and power systems
… to carry very high current even with a small conductor curvature (less than 50 mm in some special cases). Due to the high current density and high tolerance to axial tensile and compressive strain of RE − Ba2Cu3O7−σ (REBCO) coated conductors, the CORC® cable is designed as a powerful …

Flux Pumping for No-Insulation High Temperature Superconducting REBCO Magnets
… lossless superconducting joints for HTS REBCO coated conductors are not available. To maintain a stable magnetic field for the HTS REBCO magnet, an external power supply is required via a bulky no-superconducting copper current leads. The copper current leads consume a huge amount of …

Second-generation high-temperature superconducting coils and their applications for energy storage
Since a superconductor has no resistance below a certain temperature and can therefore save a large amount of energy dissipated, it is a 'green' material by saving energy loss and hence reducing carbon emissions. Recently the massive manufacture of high-temperature superconducting (HTS) materials …
