Overview

This book consists of thirteen chapters each of them defining in depth the chapter subject and surveying recent developments in the field. The main objective of this book is to summarise the recent advances in material science of high-Tc superconductors, specify their properties, processing, and applications. New and challenging issues appear in this book, like superconducting nano wires, low cost RE-123, infiltration growth, processing of single domain porous Y-123, novel cold seeding method for the production of LRE-123 materials, flux pinning, magnetic shielding, and innovation in synthesis of MgB2. Further, it also covers large scale applications of bulk materials, HTS Maglev systems with bulk superconducting parts, development of superconducting permanent magnet system, pulsed field magnetisation and its application, and production and characterisation of HTS roebel cable.

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
