The TFA-MOD method is a powerful way to fabricate $\it{RE}$Ba$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-\delta}$ coated conductors ($\it{RE}$BCO-CCs) with high critical current properties with a low fabrication cost. In this study, we focused on the case of BaHfO$_3$ nanoparticles (BHO-NPs, which have a diameter of < 10 nm) in $\it{RE}$BCO-CCs fabricated by the TFA-MOD method with an ultra-thin-once-coating (UTOC)...
Raising critical current density Jc in REBa2Cu3Oy (REBCO, RE: Y and rare earth) tapes is very important for applications such as rotation machineries and wind turbines. Many types of nano-sized precipitates and defects have been formed to enhance vortex pinning, resulting in an increase of Jc under magnetic fields. Ion...
Most applications for REBa2Cu3O7-δ-based (REBCO, RE = rare-earth) Coated Conductors (CC) require reliable, cost-effective growth processes, but also a high performance in magnetic fields. The latter is addressed by the creation of flux pinning centres, e.g. in form of non-superconducting secondary phases (nanocomposites) or elemental mixing on the RE position. Chemical solution deposition...
