Advances in large scale applications of superconductors.

Author(s) : KOMAREK P.

Summary

Most applications are still relying on low-temperature superconductor (LTS) use, as the magnet systems for large accelerators and for magnetic fusion devices. NMR spectrometers are approaching the 1000 MHz class (23.5 T in the magnet bore), a challenge to most advanced LTS as well as to high-temperature superconductor (HTS). In MRI trends for HTS use have successfully been demonstrated, as well as for cryogenfree magnets, SMES and magnetic separation. However, economy will depend on HTS wire cost reductions. Well in use are already HTS current leads, contributing to advantages for magnets in many areas.
