Synopsis

Contains papers from a May 1997 symposium, divided into sections on processing and single crystal growth, crystal structure and synthesis, phase equilibria and crystal growth, films and applications, and wires and composites. Papers address current processing techniques and methods for high temperature superconductor oxides in various forms. Specific topics include feasibility of manufacturing large domain YBCO levitators by using melt processing techniques, XRD analysis of YBCO superconductor films, development of ceramic superconductors for electric power, and superconductor transitions in glassy selenium.

About this title

Synopsis

Ceramic Transactions. Scientists and engineers working in the areas of high-Tc superconductor synthesis, fabrication, and product development will find the latest information available in this new book. Recent breakthroughs in the areas of fabrication of superconductors with high critical current density, and the discovery of new 127 K superconductors (Ba-Ca-Cu-0 system, non-toxic) are emphasized. Ion-beam assisted deposition (IBAD) and rolling-assisted biaxially textured substrates (RABiTs) are also covered. In addition, this book covers the latest research in the area of substrate development for coated conductors, and summarizes the current status of the four prototype product development, namely, transmission cable, motor, generator, and fault-current limiter.
