Doubling the Critical Current Density of High Temperature Superconducting Coated Conductors through Proton Irradiation

Y. Jia, M. LeRoux, D. J. Miller +11

The in-field critical current of commercial YBa2Cu3O7 coated conductors can be substantially enhanced by post-fabrication irradiation with 4 MeV protons. Irradiation to a fluence o…
