Overview of Superconducting Materials Development

  • Chapter
Superconductor Materials Science: Metallurgy, Fabrication, and Applications

Part of the book series: NATO Advanced Study Institutes Series ((NSSB,volume 68))

Abstract

The theme of this Institute is the science and technology of superconducting materials. This is a field which has advanced quite rapidly in the last 20 years. It seems likely that superconductors will be applied to large electrical power generators in the next few years, and possibly to other heavy power equipment such as transformers and transmission lines. Superconducting magnets appear to be of vital importance to certain developing energy technologies such as fusion and magnetohydrodynamic power equipment, which may be crucial to the future economic health of all major industrial nations. The superconducting Josephson junction has evidently secured an important niche in the electronic hierarchy of advanced computer systems. Superconducting technology is thus advancing on several fronts and is a very timely subject for a NATO Institute.
