The Development of Superconducting Materials I N China

According to the requirement of the development of superconducting magnets, the research and production of superconducting materials are much interested in many laboratories in China. This article will review the development of superconducting materials in the past ten years in China, and the present situations, mainly in the field of practical materials, Such as NbTi, Nb3Sn, V3Ga and some other compounds. Much effort has been put on the improvements of Jc and Hc2 . Finally, from the point of view of the development of superconducting magnets in China, the general out look for the future of the superconducting materals will be briefly presented as well.
