Cryocoolers are used in space instruments to cool detectors and superconducting devices to cryogenic temperatures. Inside a cryocooler, a flexure spring is used to ensure the cryocooler piston is axially free to move but is radially restricted, preventing off-axes forces that could cause piston contact with the sides of the cylinder, which is the primary cause for failure in a space...

Niobium plays a critical role in a range of cryogenic applications, including superconducting magnets, superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities, and cryogenic electronics, owing to its superior superconducting properties, high strength, and excellent resistance to embrittlement. Although tension, compression, and the shear behavior of niobium has been studied at cryogenic temperatures,...

REBCO high-temperature superconductor tapes offers remarkably high critical current density in high magnetic fields. It has been used successfully in ultra-high field superconducting magnets. To address the challenge of high mechanical stress in these magnets, co-winding REBCO tapes with insulated stainless-steel tapes has emerged as a promising technique to enhance their overall performance....

Future space missions to distant frontiers could require significantly larger amounts of cryogenic propellants than typical missions. Such missions and esoteric applications, like space tourism, would benefit from propellant storage in space for refueling space vehicles. In this regard, advancements in cryogenic fluid management are necessary to achieve extraterrestrial storage. Specifically,...

Depositions of superconducting Nb3Sn (Tc ~18K) layers on Cu is a promising approach to developing superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities comprising the next generation's high-efficiency linear accelerators operating at 4K. This technology can significantly reduce costs beyond the 2K state-of-the-art Nb-based technology. Developments in physical and chemical vapor depositions of...
