Advances in large scale applications of superconductors

摘要

Most applications are still relying on 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 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.
