The physics and technology of superconducting bearings is reviewed. Particular attention is
given to the use of high-temperature superconductors (HTSs) in rotating bearings. The basic …

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 …

High-temperature superconducting wires have many large-scale, niche applications such as
commercial nuclear fusion as well as numerous other large-scale applications in the electric …

Large-grain high-temperature superconductors of the form RE-Ba-Cu-O (where RE is a rare-
earth element) can trap magnetic fields of several tesla at low temperatures, and so can be …

Even before it was identified as a science and given a name, nanotechnology was the
province of the most innovative inventors. In medieval times, craftsmen, ingeniously …

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 …

Unlike Y123 which forms only a stoichiometric compound, the light rare earth elements
(LREs: La, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd) form a solid solution. The presence of such solid solution caused …

Bulk high-temperature superconductors (HTSs) enable the opportunity to develop several
unique applications in electrical power that are not feasible with superconducting or normal …

The growth of single crystals and highly oriented polycrystals of bulk high critical
temperature (Tc) superconducting (HTSC) materials is reviewed. Steady progress continues …

REBa 2 Cu 3 O y superconductors with rare earth (RE) ions with large radii (RE: La, Nd, Sm)
exhibit relatively low T c due to the presence of RE-Ba solid solution. We have found that this …
