The development of superconducting diodes has significant interest for their potential to revolutionize advanced magnetic systems such as magnetic systems powered by a flux-pump. A novel method for producing a passively controlled superconducting diode has been developed. The design is based on high-temperature-superconducting (HTS) conductor technology with the use of a ferro-magnetic yoke. A...
A superconducting diode is a device whose critical current is different depending on the direction of the current. It can be obtained using REBCO tapes,in which rectified motion of flux quantum is observed [1]. In this study, we develop a concept of wireless HTS magnet charging utilizing such HTS REBCO diodes. This concept was first we introduced at the last Applied Superconductivity...
No-insulated (NI) high-temperature superconducting (HTS) magnets exhibit several advantages over conventional insulated (INS) magnets. The inherent turn-to-turn resistance of NI magnets facilitates the dissipation of localized hotspots, significantly reducing the risk of quenching and improving thermal management. These characteristics make NI magnets especially attractive for high-field...
High-temperature superconductor (HTS) magnets have demonstrated significant potential for generating high magnetic fields and transporting DC current with minimal power loss, making them essential components in advanced applications such as NMR, MRI, and superconducting motors. Despite the advantages, the high joint resistance of HTS magnets has limited the adoption of persistent current mode...
