Progress in Improving Jc of Long Bi(2223) Tapes by Periodic Pressing
Jc values of multifilamentary Ag-sheathed Bi(2223) up to about 35’000 A/cm2 have been achieved at 77K and in self field for lengths of several meters using an improved route: Periodic Pressing. This corresponds t...

Development of Bi(2223) Tapes with Low AC Losses
The transverse electrical resistivity in multi-filamentary Ag/Bi,Pb(2223) tapes is considerably enhanced after introducing inert “ oxide barriers “, a new concept in which each single filament is surrounded by...

Development of Bi(2223) Multifilamentary Tapes with Low ac Losses
A significant reduction of ac losses in twisted Bi(2223) multifilamentary tapes with Ag sheaths has been achieved by using oxide (BaZrO3 and SrZrO3) barriers between filaments. These barriers have two important e...

Quantum Interference in Superconducting Mesoscopic Systems
The Ginzburg-Landau (GL) theory allows one to calculate the spatial variation of the complex superconducting order parameter ψ in the presence of a magnetic field H. For cylinders and loops with a circumference c...
