Coated conductors have high potentials for the wide application field especially in a magnetic field at high temperature. Recently, an electric propulsion system for aircraft using superconducting technologies has been considered to aim a high power density. In our design of the system, the superconducting generators and motors are connected by the superconducting cables. In this system, the...
Raising critical current density Jc in high temperature superconductors (HTS), such as YBa2Cu3O7, is an important strategy towards commercial applications. Development of strong nanoscale artificial pinning centers (APCs) in APC/YBa2Cu3O7 nanocomposites represents one of the most exciting progress in recent HTS material research. Significantly raised in-field Jc has been demonstrated in...
Artificial pinning centers (APCs) of varying types and nano-scale size have been successfully introduced into (Y,RE)Ba2Cu3O7-x ((Y,RE)BCO or Y-RE-Ba-Cu-O) thin film superconductors by different processing methods, in order to strongly pin the quantized vortices. As a result, the critical current densities (Jcs) of these high-temperature-superconductor (HTS) films have been dramatically...
