Journal ArticleDOI
Bulk superconductors: a roadmap to applications
John H. Durrell,Mark D. Ainslie,Difan Zhou,Philippe Vanderbemden,Tom Bradshaw,Susannah Speller,Mykhaylo Filipenko,David A. Cardwell +7 more
TL;DR: Athanassopoulou et al. as discussed by the authors have expressed their thanks to the participants at the workshop and acknowledged financial support for the road-mapping exercise on which this work is based from the University of Cambridge EPSRC Impact Acceleration Account (EP/K503757/1).
Journal ArticleDOI
An overview of rotating machine systems with high-temperature bulk superconductors
TL;DR: A review of recent advancements in rotating machines with bulk high-temperature superconductors (HTS) can be found in this article, where the key issues of bulk HTS machines, including material progress of bulk HSTS, in-situ magnetization, and cooling together with AC loss at lowtemperature operation are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced trapped field performance of bulk high-temperature superconductors using split coil, pulsed field magnetization with an iron yoke
Mark D. Ainslie,Hiroyuki Fujishiro,Hidehiko Mochizuki,Keita Takahashi,Yunhua Shi,Devendra Kumar Namburi,Jian Zou,Difan Zhou,A R Dennis,David A. Cardwell +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the PFM of two Ag-containing Gd-Ba-Cu-O samples is carried out using two types of magnetizing coils: (1) a solenoid coil and (2) a split coil, both of which make use of an iron yoke to enhance the trapped magnetic field.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flux jump-assisted pulsed field magnetisation of high-J c bulk high-temperature superconductors
TL;DR: In this article, a standard numerical modeling technique, based on a 2D axisymmetric finite-element model implementing the $H$-formulation, was used to reproduce the observed behaviour in their model all that is required is the insertion of a bulk sample of high critical current density.
Journal ArticleDOI
Materials process and applications of single grain (RE)–Ba–Cu–O bulk high-temperature superconductors
Beizhan Li,Difan Zhou,Kun Xu,Shogo Hara,K. Tsuzuki,Motohiro Miki,B. Felder,Zigang Deng,Mitsuru Izumi +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, a review of recent advances in the melt process of (RE) −Ba-Cu-O [(RE)BCO, where RE represents a rare earth element] single grain high-temperature superconductors (HTSs), bulks and its applications are discussed.
