The U.S. Magnet Development Program (US-MDP) explores high-field accelerator magnets that require operating conditions beyond the limits of Nb$_3$Sn technology. The ongoing R&D process for High-Temperature Superconductor (HTS) characteristics enhancement suggests using Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8-x}$ (Bi-2212) as a superconductor element. Coils made of Bi-2212 Rutherford cable maintain high...

Bi-2212 round wire is the only viable HTS superconductor to produce high-field magnets. It can be fabricated in a variety of multifilamentary architectures, and it can be fabricated into Rutherford and six-on-one cables. Rutherford cabling degrades JE of the round Bi-2212 wire, and the isostatic overpressure heat treatment (OPHT) used for Bi-2212 distorts the shape of the wires. Single...

Past research has shown the significant impact of utilizing a calcium doped YBa2Cu3O7-x (YBCO) layer that separates three individual layers of 6 vol.% BaZrO3 (BZO) +YBCO multilayer composite films. Experimental evidence illustrated the ability of the calcium to diffuse and repair the defective interface existing between the BZO nanorods and the YBCO matrix. The composite films consisted of...

In the last years, the search for high critical-temperature superconductors has focused on metal and molecular hydrides, which may exhibit superconductivity at room temperature under very high pressures [1]. Actually, such behavior has been suggested by N. W. Ashcroft in 1968, since hydrogen-based materials possess elevated vibrational frequencies, as a consequence of the low atomic mass of...
