Overview

This book consists of sixteen chapters, each covering in depth a particular subject and surveying recent developments in the field. Challenging issues, like high quality control, uniform superconducting bulk materials production by infiltration growth (IG) process, flux pinning, mechanical properties, Maglev, bearing and flywheel, trapped field magnets, magnetic shielding, and pulsed field magnetization will appear in this book. Some other issues will be Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID) based on cryogenic current compartments and its utilization in particle accelerators in scientific or medical applications, cryogenic system requirements and design considerations for superconducting devices. Additionally, vortex pinning by artificial pinning centers in thin films and coated conductors, development of new class of superconductors by low cost, high performance thick film technology by solid state (REBa2O4) and liquid phase (BaCuO2) reaction are discussed. Finally, MgB2 superconductor fabrication by sintering, spark plasma sintering, flux pinning, the electric and magnetic characterization, trapped field performance and wires towards commercial applications are presented for the reader to analyze. The team of authors and the editor hope that the presented ideas and information in this book will be helpful for interested readers, scientists, upcoming young researchers, and master and bachelor students, and will encourage further development in the field.

Author Information

Muralidhar Miryala had received Ph.D degree in High Tc Superconductivity from Osmania University, Hyderabad, India, in 1993. Afterwards (1994-1995), he had worked as a lecturer and principal investigator in a young-scientist project. Subsequently, he joined a superconductivity research laboratory (SRL), ISTEC as a research scientist and worked for 13 years. He developed a new class of mixed LRE-123 system which can be used up to 15 T at 77 K and high temperatures up to 90.2 K. He also developed a novel technology to produce a RE-123 type silver sheathed wire on the basis of solid state / liquid phase reaction. His intellectual mindset enabled him to produce a small type superconducting bulk magnet which is useful to magnetize both high-Tc superconducting materials and magnetic materials in a variety of industrial applications. Further, he also contributed to develop technology for the development of DC Superconducting Cable for Railway system applications. He is an author and co-author for more than 260 publications in international journals. He holds several Japanese national and international patents. Awards: Young Scientist Project Award, DST-Govt. of India (1995), Directors Award, SRL-ISTEC (1998 and 2003), 1999 PASREG Award of Excellence (1999), Best Presentation Award at the IWCC11 (2003), Best Researcher Award, ISTEC-SRL (2007 and 2008), Best Researcher Award, Railway Technical Research Institute (2012). Now he is working at Shibaura Institute of Technology as a Pr
