In contrast to the interaction between two magnets with opposite magnetization directions,
the interaction between a permanent magnet and a superconductor can be stable and result …

The review deals with chemical aspects of the problem of preparation of a novel class of
advanced materials, viz., high-temperature superconducting cuprates of complex chemical …

A process for the fabrication of high-quality and near-net-shaped superconducting
specimens of (Y-123) with uniformly distributed fine (Y-211) is discussed. The process …

Twin wall related diffuse scattering intensities from a single crystal of LaAlO3 were
determined using high-resolution x-ray diffraction methods. Rocking curves were measured …

Melt processing is the most prominent method utilized in the fabrication of bulk YBa 2 Cu 3 O
x (123) because of the superior transport and magnetic properties of this material. Due to the …

This review article is a commemoration of the 30th anniversary of the discovery of YBa 2 Cu
3 O 7–δ high-temperature superconductors (HTSCs). As a result of this discovery a family of …

A controlled introduction of second-phase Y2BaCuO5 (211) nanoparticles into
YBa2Cu3O7− δ (123) thin films was achieved for the first time for the purpose of increasing …

This comprehensive survey deals with the melt-growth process and characterization of the
novel class of ternary materials,(Nd, Sm, Gd) Ba 2 Cu 3 O y'NSG-123'. Microstructure …

Most of the potential applications of the high-temperature superconductors require large
critical currents, much higher than those obtained using a classical sintering process. This …

Abstract Microstructures related to the 2-1-1 morphology, and the effect of PtO 2· H 2 O and
CeO 2 additions on 2-1-1 refinement were examined in melt-textures Y 1 Ba 2 Cu 3 O 7− y …
