Abstract: A key factor for enabling high temperature superconductor (HTS) applications is the critical current density (J c).The basic physics determining J c is presented, along with basic concepts of the materials science of engineered flux-pinning defects, which provide tools to increase J c in a superconductor. A history of the development of HTS materials concludes with comparison of.

Thomas J. Dolan's work has been in plasma confinement by magnetic fields, plasma diagnostics, and fusion power plant design studies. He developed three courses at the University of Missouri-Rolla on fusion research principles, fusion experiments, and fusion technology, which became the first edition of this : Springer-Verlag London. - Fusion reactions produce low-mass (atomic number A=), high-energy (up to 14MeV) fusion products with associated specific impulse in the range Isp=4×10 6s. - The reacting mixture is typically composed by H or He isotopes with average energy between 10keV and keV. If part of such a mixture is used forFile Size: 2MB.   For the generation of magnetic fields larger than 18–20 T, the HTS represents the enabling technology. The use of the expensive HTS can be better justified for applications, which are out of range for conventional, low temperature superconductors (LTS).Cited by: 6.

But when these nuclei are at a high temperature, they move quickly, and some can get close enough to react. Creating energy from magnetic confinement fusion on Earth requires a temperature of about million degrees Celsius, even higher than the temperature of nature’s fusion reactor, the Sun’s core, which is 15 million degrees Celsius.   Magnet Engineer Greg Brittles works on developing the core high temperature superconductor (HTS) technology that will go into Tokamak Energy's next HTS tokamak.
