Since the first days of high-T c superconductivity, the materials science and the physics of
grain boundaries in superconducting compounds have developed into fascinating fields of …

The advent of high-T c superconductors gave great impetus to the development of thin-film
superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) for operation at temperatures up to …

A method to obtain long lengths of flexible, biaxially oriented substrates with smooth,
chemically compatible surfaces for epitaxial growth of high‐temperature superconductors is …

In-plane-aligned, c axis-oriented YBa2Cu3O7 (YBCO) films with superconducting critical
current densities J c as high as 700,000 amperes per square centimeter at 77 kelvin have …

The Handbook of Applied Superconductivity, Two-Volume Set covers all important aspects
of applied superconductivity and the supporting low-temperature technologies. The …

Fabrication of epitaxial, high-Jc, biaxially aligned YBCO thick films on rolling-assisted
biaxially-textured substrates (RABiTS) is summarized. The RABiTS technique utilizes …

Within the framework of the ''brick-wall''model, we review in detail how various physical
mechanisms could act to limit the critical current in high-T c superconducting tapes. The …

The controllable fabrication of reliable HTS Josephson junctions with sufficiently small
spread of their characteristic parameters has not yet been achieved and prevents the …

Magneto-optical (MO) imaging has been used to visualize and calculate magnetic flux and
current distributions at temperatures T ranging from 7 to 80 K in thin-film [001] tilt YBa 2 Cu 3 …

The nonperturbative effect of interaction can sometimes make interacting bosons behave as
though they were free fermions. The system of neutral bosons in a rapidly rotating atomic …
