Bulk high temperature superconductor (HTS) materials
T. Coombs, University of Cambridge,UK
Abstract:
This chapter concentrates on bulk materials. A bulk superconductor is one in which the superconductor has been formed into a lump, usually cylindrically shaped, but can also be hexagonal, rectangular or even square. Bulk superconductors are typically 3–5 cm across and 1 cm thick. They have many uses but the principal one is as extremely compact high-field permanent magnets in superconducting machines. A 2.6 cm (RE)BCO puck has been magnetised to 17.24 T: this is an order of magnitude greater than the flux density available from a conventional permanent magnet. This chapter describes the materials, manufacturing process, magnetisation ...
