Abstract

The stability and durability of trapped flux is a focus in investigations of melt-growth (RE)Ba2Cu3O7−δ (RE=rare earth, e.g., Y, Gd, Sm) bulk high-temperature superconductors. In magnetic flux engineering applications, two important issues affect the expected performance of bulk superconductors: flux trapping and flux stability or durability. The introduction of effective pinning with homogeneous spatial distribution is inevitable. The materials process and durability studies have been pursued in the last decade with either a stationary or a momentary applied external field. In machine applications, the magnetic flux stability is influenced by external perturbations. We topically summarize our progress and current status in relation to past and ongoing work.

  • Melt-growth (RE)Ba2Cu3O7-δ (RE=rare earth Y, Gd, Sm, etc.) bulk high-temperature superconductors have attracted interest for their potential applications, and trapped flux densities of 17 T at 29 K [1] and 3 T at 77 K [2] have been shown

  • An improvement in Jc under a magnetic field has been reported by introducing the possible interface between the non-superconducting and superconducting phases
