Research and review studies shed light on areas such as transport properties of YBCO superconductors, large-area pulsed laser deposition of YBCO thin films, cube textured nickel-based substrates for YBCO coatings, and magnetic properties and critical current of YBCO superconductors.
Pulsed laser deposition, electrophoretic deposition, dip-coating, sol-gel, and other new methods are being investigated to prepare oxidization-resistant coatings for carbon-based materials.
Key Topics Covered: * Zinc Oxide and Semiconductive Materials (Mg,Zn)O/ZnO Heterostructures Prepared by Pulsed Laser Deposition * Effect of Annealing on Electrical Degradation Characteristics of ZnO Varistors * Electrical Degradation Caused by Electro-Static Discharge Pulse in ZnO-Based Multilayer Varistor * Photoluminescence from ZnO Thin Film Deposited on R-Plane Sapphire Substrate by RF Magnetron Sputtering * Fabrication of Titanate Thin Film by Electrophoretic Deposition of Tetratitanate Nanosheets for Electrodes of Li-Ion Battery * High-Power Charge/Discharge Properties of LiFePO4/Carbon Composites with Various Carbon Materials * Electrode Properties of Ba0.
This presentation will discuss our recent research activities including; growth of high quality thin films using pulsed laser deposition, structural characterization, and magneto-transport and optical properties studies of DMS materials.
A sampling of topics: chemical doping in HS materials, identification of vortex pinning centers and regimes in coated conductors, reel- to-reel pulsed laser deposition of YBCO thick films, AC losses in RABiTS-based conductors, and second generation superconducting wires for power applications.
Specialized services include micromachining, marking and engraving, growth of thin films by pulsed laser deposition, and development of new applications of lasers to chemistry, photochemistry, and materials development and processing.
