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

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 …

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 …

The lossless transmission of direct electrical currents in superconductors is very often
regarded as an “energy superhighway” with greatly enhanced efficiency. With the discovery …

The addition of mixed double perovskite Ba2Y (Nb/Ta) O6 (BYNTO) to YBa2Cu3O7− δ
(YBCO) thin films leads to a large improvement of the in-field current carrying capability. For …

Complex oxides provide an ideal playground for exploring the interplay among the
fundamental degrees of freedom: structural (lattice), electronic (orbital and charge), and …

Intriguing properties of self-organized nanocomposites of perovskite oxides are usually
derived from the complex interface of constituent material phases. A sophisticated control of …

Double artificial pinning centers of BaSnO 3 nanorods and Y 2 O 3 nanoparticles were
investigated in YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7 films on textured substrates prepared using ion beam …

Raising critical current density J c in high temperature superconductors (HTSs) is an
important strategy towards performance-cost balanced HTS technology for …

Chemical solution deposition (CSD) is a promising way to realize REBa 2 Cu 3 O 7− x
(REBCO; RE= rare earth (here Y, Gd))-coated conductors with high performance in applied …
