Effect of interface angle, added powder and applied deformation on the transport current and structure of scarf joints of single- and multi-core unreacted MgB2 wires

Magnesium diboride (MgB2) is a promising superconductor for many applications. One of the advantages of this material, is that it is possible to join single or multi-core MgB2 wires using MgB2 joint, obtaining a connection with very low or zero electrical resistance suitable for persistent mode operation of devices, such as high field superconductor magnets….

Joining of single-core ex-situ MgB2/Fe wires by termination architecture

High-temperature superconductors, such as Magnesium diboride (MgB2), are enabling materials for building state-of-the-art high-field magnets, which will provide new findings in many fields of physics. One of the hurdles in the development of superconducting magnets is a “persistent switch”. Persistent switch is a joint in superconducting magnet, which after cooling down to cryogenic temperatures lowers…

New electro-thermal modeling method for superconductors developed at IEE SAS

Scientists from the Institute of Electrical Engineering of the Slovak Academy of Sciences (IEE SAS) have introduced a new electro-thermal modeling method for superconductors, offering higher accuracy and efficiency compared to previously used approaches. This method, called METEP (Minimum Electro-Thermal Entropy Production), brings significant advantages over traditional methods. Unlike the traditional finite difference method, METEP…
