Spatial homogeneity of critical current, Ic, is one of the most important practical performances of REBCO coated conductors. Continuous magnetization measurement by use of Hall-probe array is now widely adopted for the study of longitudinal Ic homogeneity in commercial REBCO tapes. However, the measurement condition is generally limited at 77 K and at around self-field (or low magnetic...
Chemical solution deposition (CSD) is a very competitive cost-effective deposition technique which has been used to obtain nanocomposite REBCO films and CCs, however their growth rates is rather small (0.5-1 nm/s) when the BaF2 route is used. To address this challenge, we have developed a novel growth approach, entitled Transient Liquid Assisted Growth (TLAG) [1], which is able to combine CSD...
REBCO coated conductors have gained significant attention in diverse areas in recent years due to their potential applications across a wide range of temperatures (4.2-77K) and magnetic fields (0-20T or higher). However, the persistent lack of characterization techniques to rapidly and reliably obtain information on the in-field performance of long length tapes remains a challenge. In this...
REBCO coated conductors are increasingly of interest for high field magnets applications such as high field insert magnets for particle accelerator and fusion magnets. One promising design for such applications is the no-insulation magnet which utilizes the self-protecting mechanism of current sharing between REBCO tapes to provide better stability and quench protection to the coil. Our...
High temperature superconducting (HTS) materials are increasingly of interest for high field magnets applications such as high field insert magnets for particle accelerator and fusion magnets. Symmetric Tape Round (STAR) wire cable has shown outstanding performance in current carrying ability, and therefore becomes a promising materials candidate for high field applications. On the other hand,...
