Applications of High-Tc Superconductivity

Description

InTech, 2011, 270 pages, ISBN: 953307308X 9789533073088This book will be useful in the research of new radical solutions for practical applications of HTS materials and that it will encourage further experimental research of HTS materials with potential technological applications. You will find here a great number of research on actual applications of HTS as well as possible future applications of HTS.Depending on the strength of the applied magnetic field, applications of HTS may be divided in two groups: large scale applications (large magnetic fields) and small scale applications (small magnetic fields). 12 chapters in the book are fascinating studies about large scale applications as well as small scale applications of HTS. Some chapters are presenting interesting research on the synthesis of special materials that may be useful in practical applications of HTS. There are also research about properties of high-Tc superconductors and experimental research about HTS materials with potential applications.ContentsPreface Overview of Possible Applications of High Tc Superconductors Some Contemporary and Prospective Applications of High Temperature Superconductors Superconductivity Application in Power System Current Distribution and Stability of a Hybrid Superconducting Conductors Made of LTS/HTS Magnetic Relaxation - Methods for Stabilization of Magnetization and Levitation Force 3-D Finite-Element Modelling of a Maglev System using Bulk high-Tc Superconductor and its Application Epitaxial Oxide Heterostructures for Ultimate High-Tc Quantum Interferometers Thermophysical Properties of Bi-based High-Tc Superconductors Chemical Solution Deposition Based Oxide Buffers and YBCO Coated Conductors Superconducting Properties of Graphene Doped Magnesium Diboride Preparation of Existing and Novel Superconductors using a Spatial Composition Spread Approach Superhard Superconductive Composite Materials obtained by High-Pressure-High-Temperature Sintering
