High-Temperature Superconductors
The continuing progress toward application of high-TC superconductors is generating added requirements for the materials. Higher power handling, larger areas, better parameter control, and different substrate materials are examples of some of the requirements needed for successful applications. Papers are solicited which address those aspects of materials processing and development which are needed for applications.
The following is a list of suggested topics for which papers are solicited (other areas of materials research may be included):
* Thin and thick film device fabrication issues for microwave applications
* Materials and materials processing for high-power microwave and high-magnetic field applications
* Fundamental issues related to pinning in bulk and thin films
* Films on novel substrate materials
* Single crystals and thin films of Hg-based and new cuprate superconductors
* Low-loss, low-epsilon substrate materials for microwave applications, i.e., materials without twinning
* Materials issues associated with large-area film deposition; for instance, uniformity of surface resistance
* Materials issues related to the intrinsic Josephson effect in cuprate superconductors
* Dopant control in HTSC
* Multilayer thin-film superconducting structures for low-noise and microwave applications
* Jc enhancement and artificial pinning through materials engineering
* Ion-beam-assisted deposition
