Superconductor technology will play a significant role in a wide range of industry sectors and environments in the twenty first century. Widespread applications now depend significantly on cost-effective resolution of fundamental materials and fabrication issues. The aim of the proposed program is to bring together international experts from four leading groups to tailor the microstructure at nanoscale to improve flux pinning and the critical current density of the newly discovered magnesium diboride superconductors through readily available chemical doping. The expected outcome is the capability to produce a new generation of superconductors having high performance at low costRead moreRead less
