Achieving self‐assembling/self‐organizing systems is the holy grail of nanotechnology.
Spontaneous organization is not unique to the physical sciences since nature has been …

For any practical superconductor the magnitude of the critical current density, J c, is crucially
important. It sets the upper limit for current in the conductor. Usually J c falls rapidly with …

Since the discovery of high-temperature superconductivity, significant progress in the
fabrication of REBCO-based (Rare Earth Barium Copper mixed Oxides) thin-films …

We report microstructural design via control of BaZrO3 (BZO) defect density in high
temperature superconducting (HTS) wires based on epitaxial YBa2Cu3O7-δ (YBCO) films to …

The critical current and structural properties of (Gd, Y) BaCuO tapes made by metal organic
chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) with Zr addition levels up to 30 at.% have been …

The effect of multilayering YBa 2 Cu 3 O $ _ {6+ x} $(YBCO) thin films with sequentially
deposited CeO 2 layers between YBCO layers grown on buffered metallic template is …

Increasing the thickness of a superconducting layer and simultaneously reducing the
thickness effect in iron-based superconducting coated conductors are particularly essential …

In this work, polycrystalline samples of nominal composition YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7− δ with co-
addition of 5.0 mol% of Y 2 O 3 and x mol% of BaZrO 3 (BZO) nanoparticles (x= 0.0, 1.0, 2.0 …

Addition of nanophase defects to YBa2Cu3O7 (YBCO) superconductor thin films enhances
flux pinning, resulting in an increase in transport current densities (Jct). While previous …

We report here on significant improvements to the in-field and self-field critical current
densities (J c) of multilayer and single-layer YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7− x (YBCO) thick films with …
