Superconducting Materials for Magnets

Superconducting materials for magnets will be discussed from three viewpoints: firstly the basic physical properties of the materials themselves, secondly the constraints and preferences imposed by the requirements of magnet building and finally, the manufacture of magnet conductors as a commercial product.

National Institute of Standards and Technology Synchrotron Radiation Facilities for Materials Science

Synchrotron Radiation Facilities, supported by the Materials Science and Engineering Laboratory of the National Institute of Standards and Technology, include beam stations at the National Synchrotron Light Source at Brookhaven National Laboratory and at the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory. The emphasis is on materials characterization at the microstructural and at the ato...

Nanoanalytics for materials science

With the progress in fabricating more energy efficient and sustainable devices, an increased need for advanced materials and processing techniques arises that becomes increasingly challenging and demands for new analysis techniques. In particular excellent spatial resolution together with high-sensitivity chemical information at the nanoscale are of utmost importance for future developments [1]...

Nano Characterization of Materials

Material and device characterization is challenged by continuously decreasing device dimensions placing significant demands on characterization instruments and measurement interpretation. The trend in many techniques is clearly toward characterization of smaller dimensions. Among the myriad of characterization techniques in use today, I discuss recent advances in probe microscopy, interferometr...
