Abstract
One of the most tremendous differences between oxide high T c superconductor (HTS) and practical low T c superconductor (LTS) from a material aspect is the availability of HTS “ bulk” shape due to its higher temperature operation compared to LTS. Since the critical temperature of most of the HTS is higher than the boiling point of atmospheric liquid nitrogen (77.3 K), the possible operating temperatures of the HTS power systems are much higher than those of the LTS counterparts, e.g., boiling point of liquid helium (4.2 K). Then, the thermal stability of such HTS systems are remarkably large, and then the quench phenomenon, which is the sudden transition from superconducting to normal conducting state due to the thermal instability, is not serious problems. Therefore, these bulk materials stimulate their power applications with the aim of high efficiency, compact size and low power dissipation.
