The behavior of vortex matter in high-temperature superconductors (HTS) controls the entire
electromagnetic response of the material, including its current carrying capacity. Here, we …

Abstract Bulk (RE)-Ba-Cu-O [(RE) BCO] cuprate HTS have been developed steadily towards
a wide range of sustainable engineering and technological applications since their …

The fusion power density produced in a tokamak is proportional to its magnetic field strength
to the fourth power. Second-generation high temperature superconductor (2G HTS) wires …

This manuscript reports on the recent progress and the remaining materials challenges in
the development of coated conductors (CCs) for power applications and magnets, with a …

Boosting large-scale superconductor applications require nanostructured conductors with
artificial pinning centres immobilizing quantized vortices at high temperature and magnetic …

The introduction of effective artificial pinning centers into pulsed laser deposition derived Gd
1 Ba 2 Cu 3 O 7− δ coated conductors has been studied with a view to improving the I c–B–θ …

Chemical solution deposition (CSD) is a very competitive technique to obtain epitaxial films

Abstract High-temperature superconducting REBa2Cu3O7 (RE= rare earth or yttrium)
coated conductors have emerged as a new class of materials with exceptional physical …

Applications of REBCO coated conductors are now being developed for a very wide range
of temperatures and magnetic fields and it is not yet clear whether vortex pinning strategies …

To date the strategy for inducing pinning in REBa 2 Cu 3 O 7− x (REBCO where RE= rare-
earth) coated conductors has largely been empirical. Hence, we are not yet at a point where …
