High-temperature superconducting wires have many large-scale, niche applications such as
commercial nuclear fusion as well as numerous other large-scale applications in the electric …

Second-generation (2G) HTS wires are now being produced routinely in kilometer lengths
using Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) process with critical currents of …

BaZrO 3 nanorods are known to be effective pinning centers as c-axis-correlated pinning
centers. Furthermore, BaZrO 3 nanorods in REBa 2 Cu 3 O y (RE: rare-earth element) films …

The high irreversibility field B i and strong flux pinning force were obtained for BaHfO 3-
doped GdBa 2 Cu 3 O y tapes on a metallic Hastelloy substrate with an ion beam-assisted …

Abstract YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7− x+ Y 2 O 3-stabilized ZrO 2 (YBCO+ YSZ) mixed films were
prepared on SrTiO 3/MgO substrates by pulsed-laser deposition from a YBCO target with a …

The introduction of artificial pinning sites in YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7− δ (YBCO) epitaxial thin films
has been obtained by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique from YBCO-BaZrO 3 (BZO) …

The epitaxial growth of Zr-doped CeO 2 (CZO) films by chemical solution deposition (CSD)
on single crystal substrates such as Al 2 O 3, SrTiO 3 and Y 2 O 3-stabilized ZrO 2 (YSZ) and …

We report a way of tuning the flux pinning properties by controlling the size and number
density of BaZrO 3 (BZO) nanorods without much degradation of the superconducting …

We report the effectiveness of barium niobate as a needle-type vortex pinning center, as well
as a change in the vortex state in Ba–Nb–O (BNO)-doped ErBa 2 Cu 3 O y thin films. BNO …

Critical current density (J c) and irreversibility field (B irr) were measured for a GdBa 2 Cu 3
O 7− δ film with gold nanorods which were elongated along the c-axis of the film. The …
