Funded Activity Summary

Development of new technology for coated conductors able to carry "over-critical" current densities. The superconductivity phenomenon has extremely attractive feature, that superconductors can carry non-dissipative currents, enabling us to reduce energy consumption by up to 50%. The new advanced method suggested in this project might give a new, fresh and inexpensive boost to not only domestic superconducting industry, but also worldwide. The development of new high performance superconductor technology would significantly promote fundamental understanding and knowledge of the poorly investigated "long-range" magnetic interaction between magnetic and superconducting materials. The University of Wollongong would lead the world research community in this practically important and scientifically intriguing area.
