Refinement of Nb3Sn grain size by the generation of ZrO2 precipitates in Nb3Sn wires
X. Xu, M. Sumption, X. Peng +1
In this letter we demonstrate that if oxygen can be properly supplied to (Nb-Zr)-Sn wires, ZrO2 precipitates will form during the heat treatment, refining the Nb3Sn grain size mark…
Doping Effect and Flux Pinning Mechanism of Nano-SiC Additions in MgB2 Strands
Z. X. Shi, M. A. Susner, M. D. Sumption +1
Superconducting MgB2 strands with nanometer-scale SiC additions have been investigated systematically using transport and magnetic measurements. A comparative study of MgB2 strands…
Thermal Diffusion and Quench Propagation in YBCO Pancake Coils Wound with ZnO-and Mylar Insulations
M. D. Sumption, M. Majoros, M. Susner +5
The thermal diffusion properties of several different kinds of YBCO insulations and the quench properties of pancake coils made using these insulations were studied. Insulations in…
Anisotropic Connectivity and its Influence on Critical Current Densities, Irreversibility Fields, and Flux Creep in In-Situ-Processed MgB2 Strands
Z. X. Shi, M. A. Susner, M Majoros +5
The anisotropy of the critical current density (Jc) and its influence on measurement of irreversibility field (Birr) has been investigated for high quality, in-situ MgB2 strands. C…
