Superconducting magnets have a variety of industrial, medical and research applications.
This review discusses the prospects for MgB 2 superconductor for practical magnet …

An overview of the theory of the upper critical field in dirty two-gap superconductors, with a
particular emphasis on MgB2 is given. We focus here on the maximum Hc2 which may be …

An overview of the behavior of Fe-based superconductors (FBSs) in magnetic fields is given
with the emphasis on the materials features important for pinning of vortices, critical current …

The impact of titanium oxide (TiO 2) nanoparticles addition on the intra-granular and inter-
granular properties of YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7-y (Y-123) were thoroughly investigated. Specimens …

A series of YBa 2 Cu 3 O y (YBCO, Y-123) samples with small amounts (0–1 wt%) of
nanosized SiO 2 particles (30 nm) are synthesized in air using a solid-state reaction route …

A comparative study of the effects of nanosized silicon oxide nano-particle (NP) and nano-
wire (NW) additions during the final processing stage on the microstructure and …

We have investigated the pinning of vortices in high-J c films of polycrystalline MgB 2, by
studying the dependence of current density J on electric field E using both magnetic and …

Silver (Ag) nanoparticles were added into (Cu 0.5 Tl 0.5) Ba 2 Ca 2 Cu 3 O 10− δ (CuTl-
1223) high T c superconducting matrix to get (Ag) x/CuTl-1223, x= 0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, and 4 …

We have studied flux pinning and critical current density in carbon-alloyed Mg B 2 thin films
prepared by hybrid physical-chemical vapor deposition. We found that carbon alloying …
