TRANSCRIPT
Coated conductors being used at the NHMFL are (not yet anyway) uniform
Data provided by Dmytro Abraimov (32 T testing), and further selected samples by Lidia Rossi, Xinbo
(Paul) Hu Jan Jaroszynski and Tak KametaniDavid Larbalestier
Data taken from D Abraimov(WAM-HTS Hamburg talk) and Lidia Rossi (MS thesis, University of Paris Marie Curie, June 2014 with stage at NHMFL Jan-Jun 2014)
Simple points
• Procurements have taken place over about 3 years
• SF 77K is not sufficient to specify conductor for any of our high field coils
• We have invested strongly in characterization capabilities
• Many variations are seen, more than those whose cause is understood!

Conclusion
• Both extrinsic and intrinsic defects control Ic in coated conductors and both types are present.
• In situ REBCO growth, especially with strong vortex pinning defects like BaZrO3 (BZO) is VERY susceptible to local growth perturbations that affect Jc(B, T, q) and Ic(x)
• The right tools – multiple ones – are needed to sort them out
