Superconductivity and magnetism research group

However, so far the major technological applications have been limited to the conventional low temperature superconductors because the materials properties of the ceramic HTS have caused significantly more challenges than first expected. After all, the developments during the latest years have been very positive and opened for more widespread use of the HTS materials.

The superconductivity and magnetism group in the Materials Research Department has a strong tradition in fundamental and applied science with major competences in neutron and synchrotron x-ray scattering techniques, and a solid basis for preparation of powder, thin film and single crystal materials.
