To date the strategy for inducing pinning in REBa 2 Cu 3 O 7− x (REBCO where RE= rare-
earth) coated conductors has largely been empirical. Hence, we are not yet at a point where …

The lossless transmission of direct electrical currents in superconductors is very often
regarded as an “energy superhighway” with greatly enhanced efficiency. With the discovery …

Applications of REBCO coated conductors are now being developed for a very wide range
of temperatures and magnetic fields and it is not yet clear whether vortex pinning strategies …

REBa 2 Cu 3 O x ((REBCO), RE= rare earth) superconductor tapes with moderate levels of
dopants have been optimized for high critical current density in low magnetic fields at 77 K …

The addition of mixed double perovskite Ba2Y (Nb/Ta) O6 (BYNTO) to YBa2Cu3O7− δ
(YBCO) thin films leads to a large improvement of the in-field current carrying capability. For …

Because of pressing global environmental challenges, focus has been placed on materials
for efficient energy use, and this has triggered the search for nanostructural modification …

A critical current (I c) value of 3963 A/12 mm, corresponding to a critical current density (J c)
of 15 MA cm− 2 has been achieved at 30 K, 3 T in the orientation of field parallel to the c-axis …

We report microstructural design via control of BaZrO3 (BZO) defect density in high
temperature superconducting (HTS) wires based on epitaxial YBa2Cu3O7-δ (YBCO) films to …

Double artificial pinning centers of BaSnO 3 nanorods and Y 2 O 3 nanoparticles were
investigated in YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7 films on textured substrates prepared using ion beam …

The critical current and structural properties of (Gd, Y) BaCuO tapes made by metal organic
chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) with Zr addition levels up to 30 at.% have been …
