Abstract

Technological applications of High Temperature Superconductors (HTSC) are limited by Creep, an undesired magnetic vortices movement, creating a pseudo-resistance that depresses both critical current density and critical field. For practical applications (like energy storage systems, current limiters, magnetic bearings, etc.), it is desired to have high values of Critical Current Density (JC) even at higher applied field. Flux Pinning is an established mechanism of enhancing JC in HTSC by Swift Heavy Ion irradiation. This paper explains as to how JC can be enhanced in HTSC and thereby make HTSC technologically more useful. Some recent works and our initiatives in this direction are also discussed. Keywords - Superconductivity, High temperature, Transport properties, Critical Currents, Flux Pinning
