Summary:
Robust, high performance high temperature superconductor
(HTS) wire underpins a worldwide opportunity to revolutionize the
electric power grid, transportation, electronics and many other
industries with a new generation of high efficiency, compact, and
environmentally friendly electrical equipment. This program combines
our expertise in superconductor thin film fabrication and characterization
and expertise of a local industrial partner in the development
of superconducting wires. The success of the proposed project will
bring benefit to local industry and employment, and significantly
enhance the international competitiveness in HTS of Australian
industry.
