A microfabrication process of a multifunctional probe is introduced for atomic force microscopy and various electrochemical measurements on biological samples in buffer solution. The silicon nitride probes have a spring constant lower than 0.1 N/m and a co ...
In typical power applications, Bi-2223 conductors carrying ac current will be subjected to external magnetic fields, whose orientation and conductor’s geometry are of major significance for the ac loss magnitude. This paper investigates the influence of th ...
The appraisal of the response of distribution networks to the excitation of lightning electro magnetic pulse (LEMP) requires the availability of accurate models of LEMP-illuminated lines. These models should be able to take into account the presence of shi ...
MgB2 hollow wires have been produced with a new technique which uses a conventional wire manufacturing process but is applied to composite billets containing the elemental B and Mg precursors in an appropriate shape. The technique has been applied to the m ...
In this paper, we investigate the effect of periodically-grounded shielding wires and surge arresters on the attenuation of lightning-induced voltages. We discuss the adequacy of the commonly made simplification of assuming the shielding wire at ground pot ...
This paper presents results from numerical modelling of BSCCO conductors performed with finite element method software. The AC losses are calculated and compared for conductors of different geometry and aspect ratio – an elliptical tape with anisotropic Jc ...
We present the design, fabrication and test of high-Q factor radiofrequency planar microcoils for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy in small volume samples. The coils are fabricated on glass wafers using high-aspect ratio SU-8 photoepoxy and co ...
A 13 T-46 kA Nb3Al conductor with steel jacket has been developed in the framework of ITER-EDA. The thermal strain will appear on the Nb3Al strands after heat treatment, when the steel jacket is used because of difference in their thermal expansion. The co ...
The reactive liquid infiltration (RLI) technique, applied to-the MgB2 material, has allowed us to obtain either bulk or wire samples of good transport properties. The evaluation of the voltage-current characteristics, V-I-n, for typical samples, measured b ...
Copper wires each one containing a pseudo-spin valve of Co/Cu/Co were produced by electrodeposition inside nanoporous polycarbonate membranes. These wires have a diameter of 40 nm and a length of 6000 nm of which only 50 nm relates to the spin valve. In or ...
