Recent progresses in the second generation REBa 2 Cu 3 O 7− x (RE123) coated conductor
(CC) have paved a way for the development of superconducting solenoids capable of …

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 …

Chemical solution deposition (CSD) has recently emerged as a very competitive technique
for obtaining epitaxial films of high quality with controlled nanostructure. In particular, the all …

The influence of three processing parameters, temperature, gas flow rate and water
pressure, on the YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7 film growth on LaAlO 3 single-crystal substrates from …

The ex situ process has emerged as a popular technology for growing epitaxial YBa 2 Cu 3
O 7 (YBCO) for the second generation of coated conductors. The process combines low …

We report on the thickness dependence of the superconducting characteristics including
critical current I c, critical current density J c, transition temperature T c, irreversibility field H …

The YBCO thin film growth process from TFA precursors involves a complex reaction path
which includes several oxide, fluoride and oxyfluoride intermediate phases, and the final …

High-temperature superconducting (HTSC) cables can carry much more electric current than
copper wires with negligible energy losses. Many studies have been conducted on the …

Angular anisotropies of critical currents with respect to an applied magnetic field, Ic (B, θ),
