Materials Aspects of High-Temperature Superconductors for Applications
arXiv:cond-mat/0306442
Abstract
Materials aspects of cuprate high-temperature superconductors (HTS) are reviewed with respect to technical applications. The structural chemistry common to all HTS and their critical temperatures for the onset of superconductivity are presented. Intrinsic problems for the production of technically applicable HTS materials are discussed and how these problems have been overcome for a number of technically applicable HTS materials.
