International Round-Robin Test of Critical Current of Superconducting Cable Sample (2024)
Journal Article
Matsushita, T., Kiuchi, M., Masuda, T., Mukoyama, S., Funaki, K., Cho, J., Lu, J., Raine, M. J., Quéval, L., Trillaud, F., Zhang, G., Song, M., Zheng, J., Chen, Z., & Li, J. (2024). International Round-Robin Test of Critical Current of Superconducting Cable Sample. IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity, 34(7), 1-6. https://doi.org/10.1109/tasc.2024.3438251

Ten institutes from six countries participated in an international round-robin test to evaluate the critical current of a superconducting power cable made of Bi-2223 tapes. The cable design featured a two-layer inner core conductor and a single-layer... Read More about International Round-Robin Test of Critical Current of Superconducting Cable Sample.

Successful production of solution blow spun YBCO+Ag complex ceramics (2020)
Journal Article
Pessoa, A., Raine, M., Hampshire, D., Namburi, D., Durrell, J., & Zadorosny, R. (2020). Successful production of solution blow spun YBCO+Ag complex ceramics. Ceramics International, 46(15), 24097-24101. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ceramint.2020.06.188

YBCO fabrics composed of nanowires, produced by solution blow spinning (SBS) are so brittle that the Lorentz force produced by induced currents can be strong enough to damage them. On the other hand, it is known that silver addition improves the mech... Read More about Successful production of solution blow spun YBCO+Ag complex ceramics.

3D Properties in (RE)BCO Tapes measured in Fields up to 35 T (2019)
Journal Article
Smith, A., Raine, M., Surrey, E., Awaji, S., Okada, T., & Hampshire, D. (2019). 3D Properties in (RE)BCO Tapes measured in Fields up to 35 T. IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity, 29(5), Article 6601005. https://doi.org/10.1109/tasc.2019.2895218

We have measured the temperature and angular dependence of the upper critical field (BC 2 ) for three state of the art (RE)BCO HTS tapes using variable-temperature ac susceptibility measurements in applied fields up to 35 T. The three tapes measured... Read More about 3D Properties in (RE)BCO Tapes measured in Fields up to 35 T.

Quantitative optical spectroscopy of $^{87}$Rb vapour in the Voigt geometry in DC magnetic fields up to 0.4T (2019)
Journal Article

Quantitative optical spectroscopy of $^{87}$Rb vapour in the Voigt geometry in DC magnetic fields up to 0.4T. Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics, 52(5), Article 055003. https://doi.org/10.1088/1361-6455/ab0186

We present a detailed spectroscopic investigation of a thermal ⁸⁷Rb atomic vapour in magnetic fields up to 0.4T in the Voigt geometry. We fit experimental spectra with our theoretical model ElecSus and find excellent quantitative agreement, with RMS...

We have investigated the applied magnetic field, temperature, and self-field dependence of the critical current density of a Nb-Ti strand produced for the ITER Poloidal Field conductor. Measurements were made on a standard ITER barrel in magnetic fie... Read More about Self-field Effects on JC(B,T) Measurements of Nb-Ti Strands in High Magnetic Fields.
