Trapped magnetic fields larger than 14 T in bulk YBa2Cu3O7−x

TLDR
In this article, high trapped fields were found in zinc-doped, bulk melt-textured YBa2Cu3O7−x (YBCO) material showing a pronounced peak effect in the field dependence of the critical current density.
Abstract
High trapped fields were found in zinc-doped, bulk melt-textured YBa2Cu3O7−x (YBCO) material showing a pronounced peak effect in the field dependence of the critical current density Trapped fields up to 11 T were found at 77 K at the surface of a YBCO disk (diameter 26 mm, height 12 mm) Very high trapped fields up to 1435 T were achieved at 225 K for a YBCO disk pair (diameter 26 mm, height 24 mm) by the addition of silver and using a bandage made of stainless steel The pinning forces and trapped fields obtained in bulk YBCO material are compared with results reported for melt-processed NdBa2Cu3O7−x and SmBa2Cu3O7−x
