Power and Thermal Technologies for Air and Space-Scientific Research Program. Delivery Order 0012: High-Temperature Superconductor Performance Enhancement
Abstract
The objectives of this delivery order were to 1) Improve critical current density in applied magnetic fields through flux pinning mechanisms and thicker films. 2) Investigate AC losses in YBCO coated conductors 3) Develop means to stabilize YBCO thin filmed coated conductors and electrically connect them to the substrate. 4) Develop improved measurement techniques and standards of measurement for properties of high temperature superconductors in order to fully characterize AC loss issues, flux pinning effects, stabilization concerns, and higher critical currents. 5) Research the growth and characterization of carbon nanotubes for electrical and thermal applications.
