RIA: Superconducting Oxide/Noble Metal Microlaminates Prepared by the Oxidation of Noble Metal-Bearing Metallic Precursors

这项RIA奖的研究目的是深入了解在最近开发的用于制备超导氧化物/贵金属复合材料的“循环氧化”过程中发生的多组分、含贵金属金属前体的化学分离机制。振荡氧化工艺和氧化物熔体工艺相结合，可在强磁场下获得高输运临界电流密度的断裂韧性超导复合材料。

The purpose of the research to be performed on this RIA award is to develop a thorough understanding of the mechanism of chemical segregation of multicomponent, noble metal-bearing metallic precursors that occurs during the recently developed "cyclic oxidation" process used for the preparation of superconducting oxide/noble metal composites. Combined use of the oscillating oxidation process and oxide melt processing should yield fracture-tough superconducting composites with high transport critical current density in significant magnetic fields.
