Materials, Processing and Quality Control for High Performance Coated High Temperature Superconducting Conductors
Abstract
The success of high temperature superconductor technology in the efficient use, generation, transmission, and storage of electrical energy is determined by the performance of the coated conductor and by the ability to fabricate it in long lengths at a reasonable cost. Our program on materials and processing of coated high temperature superconducting conductors has had two components in the past year: 1) improving the Jc by introducing effective pinning centers to increase the interlayer coupling and reduce the compound anisotropy by cation substitution and introduction of nano-particles; and 2) electroplated Ni layer on textured Cu substrate for Cu- based HTS coated conductors.
