Over the past ten years the perception of grain boundaries in YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7− δ conductors
has changed greatly. They are now not a problem to be eliminated, but an inevitable and …

The developments of coated conductor technology have been reviewed. It is shown that the
critical current density of high-Tcwires can be greatly enhanced by using three-fold …

We investigate the description of current transfer in polycrystalline superconductors by
percolation theory and its limitations. Various computer models that have been proposed are …

Automated orientation measurements using electron back-scatter pattern analysis have
been taken on samples of (BiPb) 2 Sr 2 Ca 2 Cu 3 O x (Bi-2223) tapes produced using the …

The strain effect on the critical current is one of the most important properties for
polycrystalline YBa 2 Cu3O 7-δ (REBCO, RE: rare earth) films, in which the reversible effect …

Despite tremendous efforts in research and development after the discovery of high
temperature perovskite-type layered superconductors, and high expectations expressed in …

We have applied pulsed laser deposition (PLD) to fabricate YBCO/YSZ films (short length)
onto biaxially textured NiFe substrates. Macroscopic characterization of the samples has …

Elektrische Energie ist eine in Bezug auf Einsatzflexibilität und Einfachheit der Übertragung
unübertroffene Energieform. Die flächendeckende Versorgung mit elektrischer Energie …

With increasing misorientation angle grain boundaries strongly reduce the critical current
density of high temperature superconductors. For this reason costly techniques are used in …

In this article, properties of the HTc and MTc superconducting conductors for selected
airborne AC and space transient losses applications are presented. As example …
