REBCOAPL – REBCO masívne supravodiče na báze Y, Gd, Sm a Eu pre praktické aplikácie
–
Program: SRDA
Project leader: Ing. Diko Pavel, DrSc., akademik US Slovenska
Annotation: The project is focused on research and development of selected REBCO bulk singlegrain superconductors (BSS).We will examine YBCO, GdBCO, SmBCO and EUBCO systems, which are currently preferred in terms ofmastering their production technology and specific applications. Based on our latest results, we will focus on thealloying of LREBCO (LRE- light rare earths) with elements that suppress Ba/LRE substitution in the crystal lattice,the addition of nanocrystalline BaCeO3, the bimodal size distribution of pining centres and the configuration ofholes in REBCO BSS. We will apply the research results in the development of BSS production technology withoptimized superconducting and mechanical properties. The use of the research and development results achievedwithin the project is expected by the manufacturer BSS CAN Superconductors s.r.o.
