Abstract

This invention enables high temperature superconducting (HTS) metal oxide materials ReBaCuO((RE)BCO) to carry high superconducting currents at high current densities under high magnetic field (≧3 Tesla), in all orientations of the field, and at high temperatures (65 Kelvin). The superconductor is adapted to carry current in a superconducting state, with the superconductor having a current (I) carrying capacity of at least 250 A/cm width, in a field of 3 Tesla (T), at 65 Kelvin (K), at all angles relative to the coated conductor. More preferably, the current carrying capacity extends through the range of substantially 250 A/cm to 500 A/cm. Excellent performance is achieved by use of intrinsic pinning centers in the HTS compound. The invention preferably does not require the addition of extra elements or compounds or particles to the superconducting compound during synthesis, nor does it require extra process steps.
