Iron with a large magnetic moment was widely believed to be harmful to the emergence of
superconductivity because of the competition between the static ordering of electron spins …

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 …

Iron-based superconductors, with T c values up to 55 K, are of great interest for applications,
due to their lower anisotropies and ultrahigh upper critical fields. In the past four years, great …

Although high-temperature superconductor cuprates have been discovered for more than 25
years, superconductors for high-field application are still based on low-temperature …

In this paper we report basic properties of iron-based superconductors and review the latest
achievements in the fabrication of conductors based on these materials. We compare state …

Abstract The Fe-based superconductors (FBSs) are an important new class of
superconducting materials. As with any new superconductor with a high transition …

The critical temperature T c and the critical current density J c determine the limits to large-
scale superconductor applications. Superconductivity emerges at T c. The practical current …

Understanding the nature of grain boundary (GB) characteristics in combination with
creating low-energy GBs by modifying the processing conditions, so-called GB engineering …

The recent discovery of iron-based superconductors has evoked enthusiasm for extensive
research on these materials because they form the second high-temperature …

Increasing the thickness of a superconducting layer and simultaneously reducing the
thickness effect in iron-based superconducting coated conductors are particularly essential …
