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 …

Magnetic flux can penetrate a type-II superconductor in the form of Abrikosov vortices (also
called flux lines, flux tubes, or fluxons) each carrying a quantum of magnetic flux phi 0= h/2e …

In the past few years magneto-optical flux imaging (MOI) has come to take an increasing role
in the investigation and understanding of critical current densities in high-T c …

The achievement of large critical currents is critical to the applications of high-temperature
superconductors. Recent developments have shown that melt processing is suitable for …

The authors report flux pinning behavior of melt processed YBaCuO containing Y 2 BaCuO
5 (211) inclusions. Although the size of the 211 inclusions is relatively large compared to the …

This comprehensive survey deals with the melt-growth process and characterization of the
novel class of ternary materials,(Nd, Sm, Gd) Ba 2 Cu 3 O y'NSG-123'. Microstructure …

We study the field (H) and temperature (T) dependence of the critical current density (J c)
and irreversibility field (H irr) at different field orientations in Y 0.77 Gd 0.23 Ba 2 Cu 3 O y …

An extremely large levitation force of as high as 30 N at a height of 1 mm was achieved in Ag-
doped YBaCuO fabricated by the Melt-Powder-Melt-Growth process using a repulsive force …

The authors report a melt-powder-melt-growth (MPMG) process which results in high J/sub
c/for bulk Y-Ba-Cu-O superconductors. The Y-Ba-Cu-O pellets or powders are melt …

Melt processing is the most prominent method utilized in the fabrication of bulk YBa 2 Cu 3 O
x (123) because of the superior transport and magnetic properties of this material. Due to the …
