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

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 …

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 …

Vertically aligned nanocomposite thin films with ordered two phases, grown epitaxially on
substrates, have attracted tremendous interest in the past decade. These unique …

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

Scaling relations describing the electromagnetic behaviour of coated conductors (CCs)
greatly simplify the design of REBCO-based devices. The performance of REBCO CCs is …

Chemical solution deposition (CSD) is a very competitive technique to obtain epitaxial films
and multilayers of high quality with controlled nanostructures. Based on the strong …

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 …

In this work, we review recent progress achieved in the use of chemical solution deposition
(CSD) based on fluorinated metalorganic precursors to grow superconducting REBa 2 Cu 3 …

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