Can Resistive-Type Fault Current Limiter Operate in Cryogen-Free Environment?

Bertrand Dutoit

Superconducting fault current limiters are unique devices that offer fast response to fault without need of an external triggering system. Therefore, they are interesting for industrial use, although their price is high. The principle of the resistive faul ...

Design Optimization of Round Strands Made by Twisted Stacks of HTS Tapes

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Davide Uglietti, Rainer Wesche

Atwisted stack of high-temperature superconducting (HTS) tapes soldered into copper profiles was used as a strand in the fabrication of the 60-kA/ 12-T HTS cable prototype at the Center for Research in Plasma Physics (CRPP). Considering the strand in gener ...

Quench Detection and Protection of the HTS Insert Coils

Natalia Hanna Glowa

As a result of extremely high upper critical fields B_c2, high temperature superconductors (HTS) have the potential to be used as high field insert coils in magnet systems where the background field is provided by low temperature superconductors (LTS) with ...

Asymmetry of collective excitations in electron- and hole-doped cuprate superconductors

Sandrine Gerber, Thorsten Schmitt, Gang Yu

High-temperature superconductivity emerges on doping holes or electrons into antiferromagnetic copper oxides. The large energy scale of magnetic excitations, for example, compared with phonon energies, is thought to drive superconductivity with high transi ...
