The mechanical deformation of BiSrCaCuO/Ag composites made by the powder-in-tube
method is a multi-step process. The main difficulty is that the mechanical properties of the …

Conventional powder-in-tube (PIT) method has been the most effective technique for
fabricating iron-based superconducting wires and tapes. Tremendous advances have been …

With the advent of High Temperature Superconductivity and the increasing reliability of
fabrication techniques, superconductor technology has moved firmly into the mainstream of …

The recently discovered iron-based superconductors are potential candidates for high-field
magnet applications. However, the critical current densities (J c) of iron-based …

We performed a deep infrared imaging survey of 63 embedded young stellar objects (YSOs)
located in the Taurus and Ophiuchus clouds to search for companions. The sample includes …

The distinctive quasi-biaxial texture of Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O x (Bi-2212) plays an important role
in enabling high critical current density (J c) in Bi-2212 round wires (RWs). Here we studied …

Magneto-optical imaging of the flux penetration into a Ag sheathed Bi1. 8Pb0.
4Sr2Ca2Cu3O8+ x tape has been used to extract the current flow paths in a magnetic field …

The various fabrication and reaction processes leading to multifilamentary Bi, Pb (2223)
tapes with high transport are described. In air, the Bi, Pb (2223) phase in pressed powders is …

We have studied the connectivity of rolled and pressed Ag-sheathed tapes through three
deformation and heat treatment cycles using magneto-optical imaging. In pressed samples …

Certain characteristics in magnetic field dependences of critical current densities (Jc) for the
Ag-sheathed Bi-2223 superconducting tape have been found. One property regards the …
