Abstract:Most of the potential applications of the high-temperature superconductors require large critical currents, much higher than those obtained using a classical sintering process. This paper reviews different processes and corresponding recent results in the field of texturing high-T c superconductors in order to align and develop the planes where the current flows easily. Different melt-textured growth methods are discussed from both theoretical and practical viewpoints, and the limitations associated with the d… Show more
