| Annotation: | REBa2Cu3O7 (in short REBCO or RE123, RE = Y or rare earth) bulk singlegrain superconductors (BSS) are a new unique class of superconductors with a perspective of being superconducting permanent magnets. One way to get closer to their practical applications is to reduce the price or to increase their properties by applying more efficient progressivetechnological procedures for their fabrication. The refinement of pining centers in the form of non-superconducting particles of the RE2BaCuO5 (RE211) phase is an important task in the production of REBCO BSS by top-seeded melt-growth (TSMG) process in the form of highparameter cryomagnets. The Laboratory of Materials Physics (LMF) at IEP SAS and the Department of Physics of JTU Shanghai have long been involved in the REBCO BSS research and have achieved a significant international position in this area. The latest results of collaborative groups show that replacing the conventional Y211 powder addition into the nominal composition by the mixture of Y2O3 and Ba2Cu3x powders can create nanoscale Y211 pining centers which will lead to a significant increase in the value of the maximum trappped magnetic field. Within the joint project, we want to extend this efficient process to SmBCO and GdBCO type BSS, which generally show higher values of the trapped magnetic field than YBCO BSS. In fulfilling this goal, we will seek optimal chemical composition and growth conditions of bulk crystals. Growth of BSS will take place mainly at the Departments of Physics, Shanghai Jiao Tong University during the stay of young scientists from LMF. The microstructural analysis and characterization of superconducting properties will be performed mainly at LMF. The planned mutual cooperation will significantly contribute to a faster progression of REBCO MMS research, in particular by complementing collaborative knowledge, joint use of unique experimental methodologies at individual labs as well as the scientific advancement of young scientists |

Inthe framework of the project, we will develop unique low price technologies to grow of bulk REBCO crystals with effective pining centers and with eliminated weak links. We will study systems without platinum addition, additional pinning will be induced by micro-alloying with low cost elements and the elimination of weak links will be done by unique technology of high pressure oxygenation. In the case of MgB2 bulks, the technology of Spark Plasma Sintering will be applied. The pnictide bulk superconductors will be prepared by technology excluding Hot Isostatic Pressing. |

Košice for design of equipments for the magnetic separation of cells and for the magnetic transport of drugs. For these applications, REBCO BSS will be developed for use at temperatures that can be achieved by cryocooling (30-50K). We will study YBCO, SmBCO and GdBCO systems that can meet the requirements for the expected applications. The raw material price for YBCO BSS is lower than for SmBCO and GdBCO BSS, however, the SmBCO and GdBCO are reaching higher values of trapped magnetic field. Within the project solution, the optimized composition and the preparation technology of REBCO BSS will be found in order to achieve efficient pining in high magnetic fields below temperature of liquid nitrogen, which is a prerequisite for achieving high critical current density and high trapped magnetic field. The critical current density will be improved through chemical pining, refining RE211 particles, adding nanofibers. We will take advantage of our previous results in basic and applied research of REBCO BSS, some of which are patent-protected. |

| Annotation: | Centre of Low Temperature Physics and Material Research at Extreme Conditions Kosice, CLTP-MREC, represents a concept of cutting-edge experimental research institution focused on low temperature physics and material research under extreme conditions. By the extreme conditions apart from low temperatures meant are also high as well as extremely small magnetic fields, extremely high pressures and temperatures, and also reduced dimensions – preparation of nanomaterials and investigations of properties on a nanoscopic scale. Main goal of the project has been to mobilize a common research of constituting organisations and to target it to the area of materials and technologies with a high application potential and technological transfer. The world competitive physics and material science demands the up-to-date research infrastructure. CLTP-MREC has already now in disposal top level instruments and techniques obtained within the framework of the European structural funds, Framework Programmes and other grant schemes but as the most important added value the Centre deems its capability to develop own unique scientific methods, instruments and technologies. The Centre belongs to a dozen world laboratories able to perform experiments in microkelvin range but it disposes also other unique techniques for processing and characterization of materials in high magnetic fields, and at high pressures and temperatures. In this proposal we will concentrate on development of another top level instruments and technologies as well on a synergetic collaboration of our laboratories which represent an important base of the material R&D in Košice. |
