A planar YBa2Cu3Ox (YBCO) coil has been used as a pick-up coil in a nuclear magnetic resonance imager. It was found that the quality factor (Q) of the YBCO coil was greater than its copper counterpart by approaching 50% even in a field of 0.15 T. The Q of the copper coil at 77 K and in a field of 0.15 T was 1200 while that of the YBCO coil under identical conditions was 1700.

In recent years, with the development of ship electric propulsion system, High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) motors have gained attention as a promising potential resolution due to their high-power density and the progression of cryogenic refrigeration technology. We present an electromagnetic characteristics numerical analysis of 40 MW, 120 rpm, HTS synchronous motor which is a semi-superconducting motor: in fact, it has a superconducting rotor composed of YBCO material and a conventional stator. Combining electric resistivity variation of rotor copper shielding sleeve in low temperature environment and YBCO coil critical current, the electromagnetic behavior of the 40 MW HTS synchronous motor is analyzed with non-ferromagnetic stator support structure.

This letter presents a flux pumping method and the results gained when it was used to magnetize a range of different YBCO coils. The pumping device consists of an iron magnetic circuit with eight copper coils which apply a traveling magnetic field to the superconductor. The copper poles are arranged vertically with an air gap length of 1 mm and the iron cores are made of laminated electric steel plates to minimize eddy-current losses.

This paper deals with the mechanical strain issue in a high-temperature superconducting (HTS) insert for a GHz-class (> 23.5 T) LTS/HTS NMR magnet. We present results, experimental and analytical, of hoop strains in a double-pancake (DP) test coil, wound with 6-mm wide YBCO coated conductor (CC) and equipped with strain gauges at their innermost and outermost turns.

This paper deals with the latest design of an all High Temperature Superconductor (HTS) insert for our 1.3 GHz NMR program. Due to a loss of our original 600 MHz HTS insert, the entire program was revised, and upon further examination of the options available for the HTS insert, which included not only conductor material properties, but also new winding technologies recently developed here at the FBML, it has finally been decided to build an 800 MHz (H800) insert purely based in SuperPower YBCO conductor.

Temporal "enhancement" of trapped fields was observed in the central region of a compact NMR magnet comprising a stack of 2800 YBCO "square" annuli (YP2800), field-cooled at 4.2 K. This paper presents an analytical model to simulate the trapped field enhancement in YP2800.
