High Critical Current in Metal Organic Derived YBCO Films

High-temperature superconducting (HTS) YBCO wire is a versatile technology for a number of military and commercial applications. However, anticipated military applications such as energy-dense electric propulsion systems (including motor and adjustable speed motor drives), directed-energy weapons (including the gyrotron magnet and power supply), and commercial applications such as motors, generators, transformers, and power transmission lines require improvement in the performance of such wires before these applications are broadly realized.
