In recent years, numerical models have become popular and powerful tools to investigate the electromagnetic behavior of superconductors. One domain where this advances are most necessary is the 3D modeling of the electromagnetic behavior of superconductors. For this purpose, a benchmark problem consisting of superconducting cube subjected to an AC magnetic field perpendicular to one of its faces has been recently defined and successfully solved. In this work, a situation more relevant for applications is investigated: a superconducting parallelepiped bulk with the magnetic field parallel to two of its faces and making an angle with the other one without and with a further constraint on the possible directions of the current. The latter constraint can be used to model the magnetization of a stack of high-temperature superconductor tapes, which are electrically insulated in one direction. For the present study three different numerical approaches are used: the Minimum Electro-Magnetic Entropy Production (MEMEP) method, the $H$-formulation of Maxwells equations and the Volume Integral Method (VIM) for 3D eddy currents computation. The results in terms of current density profiles and energy dissipation are compared, and the differences in the two situations of unconstrained and constrained current flow are pointed out. In addition, various technical issues related to the 3D modeling of superconductors are discussed and information about the computational effort required by each model is provided. This works constitutes a concrete result of the collaborative effort taking place within the HTS numerical modeling community and will hopefully serve as a stepping stone for future joint investigations.

We investigate theoretically the dependence of magnetization loss of a helically wound superconducting tape on the round core radius $R$ and the helical conductor pitch in a ramped magnetic field. Using the thin-sheet approximation, we identify the t wo-dimensional equation that describes Faradays law of induction on a helical tape surface in the steady state. Based on the obtained basic equation, we simulate numerically the current streamlines and the power loss $P$ per unit tape length on a helical tape. For $R gtrsim w_0$ (where $w_0$ is the tape width), the simulated value of $P$ saturates close to the loss power $sim(2/pi)P_{rm flat}$ (where $P_{rm flat}$ is the loss power of a flat tape) for a loosely twisted tape. This is verified quantitatively by evaluating power loss analytically in the thin-filament limit of $w_0/Rrightarrow 0$. For $R lesssim w_0$, upon thinning the round core, the helically wound tape behaves more like a cylindrical superconductor as verified by the formula in the cylinder limit of $w_0/Rrightarrow 2pi$, and $P$ decreases further from the value for a loosely twisted tape, reaching $sim (2/pi)^2 P_{rm flat}$.
BaFe2As2 (Ba-122) and (Ba0.6K0.4)Fe2As2 (K-doped Ba-122) powders were successfully synthesized from the elements using a reaction method, which incorporates a mechanochemical reaction using high-impact ball milling. Mechanically-activated, self-susta ining reactions (MSR) were observed while milling the elements together to form these compounds. After the MSR, the Ba-122 phase had formed, the powder had an average grain size < 1 {mu}m, and the material was effectively mixed. X-ray diffraction confirmed Ba-122 was the primary phase present after milling. Heat treatment of the K-doped MSR powder at high temperature and pressure yielded dense samples with high phase purity but only granular current flow could be visualized by magneto optical imaging. In contrast, a short, low temperature, heat treatment at ambient pressure resulted in global current flow throughout the bulk sample even though the density was lower and impurity phases were more prevalent. An optimized heat treatment involving a two-step, low temperature, heat treatment of the MSR powder produced bulk material with very high critical current density above 0.1 MAcm-2 (4.2 K, 0 T).

We report magnetic field dependent magnetization and microwave impedance measurements on a MgB2 superconductor prepared by high pressure synthesis. We find that the upper critical field is linearly dependent on temperature near Tc and the dc irrevers ibility field exponent is ~1.4. The microwave data display an excess surface resistance below Tc which is neither observed in low Tc nor in high temperature superconductors (HTSC). The real part of the complex conductivity, sigma1, shows a huge maximum below Tc and the imaginary part, sigma2, is linear for temperatures less than 20 K, which can not be simply accounted for by the weak coupling BCS model with an s-wave superconducting order parameter. We speculate that this may be due to the two gaps reported by other studies. Unlike measurements on the high temperature superconducting cuprates, we find no evidence of weak-links in the superconducting state. By inverting the magnetic field dependent impedance data, we find a vortex depinning frequency that decreases with increasing magnetic field and evidence for an anisotropic upper critical magnetic field.

We theoretically investigate the physical mechanism of the screening-current-induced field (SCIF) in solenoid coils wound with superconducting tape wires. We derive the direct relationship between the SCIF and the magnetization of tape wires, and a s caling law for the SCIF and the coil dimensions is demonstrated. A simple analytical expression of the SCIF is obtained as functions of current load factor, tape wire width, and the coil dimensions. We verify that the published data for the precise numerical computation of SCIF are roughly fitted by our theoretical results for flat coils where the height is smaller than the outer diameter.
The paper reports the first successful fabrication of MgB2 superconducting tape using a flexible metallic substrate as well as its strong pinning force, which was verified by direct measurement of transport critical current density. The tape was prep ared by depositing MgB2 film on a Hastelloy tape buffered with an YSZ layer. The Jc of the tape exceeds 105A/cm2 at 4.2K and 10T, which is considered as a common benchmark for magnet application. The Jc dependence on magnetic field remains surprisingly very small up to 10T, suggesting that the tape has much better magnetic field characteristic than conventional Nb-Ti wires in liquid helium.
