researchers at american telephone & telegraph co. 's bell laboratories reported they raised the electrical current-carrying capacity of new superconductor crystals by a factor of N moving the materials closer to commercial use |
the scientists said they created small changes in the <unk> structures of the superconductors to raise the amount of current that single crystals could carry to N <unk> per square <unk> in a moderately strong magnetic field |
the scientists said they made the advance with <unk> superconductors cooled to <unk> <unk> or minus N degrees <unk> |
their report appears in today 's issue of the journal nature |
the finding marks a significant step in research on bulk superconductors which are aimed at use in wires for motors <unk> <unk> and other applications |
scientists had obtained even higher current-carrying capacity in thin films of the new superconductors but have had problems increasing the amount of current that bulk crystals could carry |
superconductors conduct electricity without resistance when cooled |
a family of ceramic superconductors discovered during the past three years promise new technologies such as cheaper electrical generation but only if their current-carrying capacity can be raised |
the at&t advance shows how one aspect of the current-carrying problem can be overcome |
but it wo n't lead to imminent use of new superconductors cautioned robert b. van dover one of the at&t researchers |
he added that the current-carrying capacity of <unk> samples of superconductors remains too low for most practical uses because of so-called weak links between crystals |
such <unk> materials will probably be needed for commercial applications |
mr. van dover said the at&t team created the <unk> crystal changes by <unk> superconductor samples with neutrons a process that creates some <unk> in the samples and may not be <unk> for large-scale commercial use |
still scientists <unk> a collective sigh of relief about the finding because it demonstrates how to overcome the <unk> <unk> problem that earlier this year was widely publicized as <unk> new superconductors ' potential |
the problem involves the motion of small magnetic fields within superconductor crystals limiting their current-carrying capacity |
mr. van dover said the crystal changes his team introduced apparently <unk> the magnetic fields in place preventing them from lowering current-carrying capacity |
mr. van dover added that researchers are trying to determine precisely what crystal changes solved the problem |
determining that may enable them to develop better ways to introduce the needed <unk> patterns |
the at&t team also is trying to combine their latest superconductor process with <unk> growth a process discovered earlier at bell laboratories |
the combined processes may significantly raise the current-carrying capacity of <unk> samples |
