High Temperature Superconductors

Abstract

One of the pioneers who introduced superconductivity of metal solids was Kamerlingh Onnes (1911). Researchers always struggled to make observations towards superconductivity at high temperatures for achieving goals of evaluating normal room temperature superconductors. The physical properties are based entirely on the behavior of conventional and metal superconductors as a result of high-temperature superconductors. Various synthetic approaches are employed to fabricate high-temperature superconductors, but solid-state thermochemical process which involves mixing, calcinating, and sintering is the easiest approach. Emerging novel high-temperature superconductors mainly engaged with technological applications such as power transmission, Bio-magnetism, and Tokamaks high magnetic field. Finally, in this chapter, we will discuss a brief outlook, future prospects, and finished with possible science fiction and some opportunities with high-temperature superconductors.

A Magnetohydrodynamic enhanced entry system for space transportation: MEESST

“…Since the discovery of HTS materials in the 80s, extensive research worldwide has uncovered many more oxide-based superconductors with potential manufacturability benefits and critical temperatures as high as 135 K. A superconducting material with a critical temperature above 77 K today is known as a HTS, despite the continuing need for cryogenic refrigeration for any application [34] . Since the development of YBCO in 1987, the development of long flexible tapes with thin layers of Cuprate-based superconductors called coated conductors (CC) has been a success story of sophisticated processing and scale-up effort s. These CCs are promising for superconducting magnet applications because of their high critical current density with a low dependency on the external magnetic field, good mechanical properties, and reasonable cost, which offer opportunities to develop ultra-high-field magnets [35,36] .…”

Superconductors for Large-Scale Applications

“…The one kilometre 10kV HTS cables are connected between two substations and cooled by liquid nitrogen [22]. This HTS cables are more efficient than any other conventional cables that transport five times more electricity with almost no loss [23].…”

“…The new technology of HTS materials is also capable to withstands the fault currents. Short-circuit currents are limited by such superconducting device, which are dependent on the utilities transmission and distribution networking systems that makes use of these HTS [22,23]. When the current in HTS device exceeds a certain threshold value, it behaves like a typical resistive conductor, switching from high to low current as necessary.…”
