In this PhD research programme, the student will measure both the fundamental and extrinsic properties of superconducting materials including the critical current density JC(B(?),T, ?,). Important research questions include: What is the mechanism that determines the critical current in high magnetic fields of high temperature superconductors? How can we optimise HTS materials to enable commercial fusion energy ? What is the role of anisotropy/reduced dimensionality in these materials? Why is the critical current density in state-of-the-art materials 2 or 3 orders of magnitude lower than the theoretical limit in high magnetic fields? Can we understand the nature of flux pinning and flux flow in high Jc materials under strain ? The student will network with scientists throughout the world working on fusion. The PhD supervisory team will include Prof. Damian Hampshire who is an experienced member of the highfield applied superconductivity and fusion energy community. The 4 year PhD is funded through the Fusion CDT partnership which gives an excellent exposure to many of the best Universities in the UK, an excellent taught course in fusion energy and exposure to the fusion community across Europe. The PhD is formally based at Durham for access to high magnetic fields and cryogenic facilities, but the training in the fusion CDT means you spend about 6-8 months during the first year of your PhD at CDT partner Universities and will include regular visits to CCFE. It will also probably involve working in an International laboratory (usually the USA, Japan or EU) for at least one collaborative project in the 2nd or 3rd year. The Research Groups are committed to developing an environment that produces world-class science and is inclusive, flexible and family-friendly.

在这个博士研究项目中，学生将测量超导材料的基本和外在特性，包括临界电流密度 JC(B(?),T, ?,)。重要的研究问题包括：决定高温超导体强磁场中临界电流的机制是什么？我们如何优化高温超导材料以实现商业聚变能源？这些材料中各向异性/降维的作用是什么？为什么最先进材料的临界电流密度比强磁场中的理论极限低 2 或 3 个数量级？我们能否理解高 Jc 材料在应变下磁通钉扎和磁通流动的本质？学生将与世界各地从事核聚变研究的科学家建立联系。博士生导师团队将包括 Damian Hampshire 教授，他是高场应用超导和聚变能源领域经验丰富的成员。为期 4 年的博士课程由 Fusion CDT 合作伙伴资助，该合作伙伴提供了接触英国许多最好的大学的机会、优秀的聚变能源教学课程以及接触整个欧洲聚变社区的机会。博士学位正式在达勒姆进行，以便使用高磁场和低温设施，但聚变 CDT 培训意味着您在 CDT 合作大学攻读博士学位的第一年要花大约 6-8 个月的时间，并且将包括定期访问 CCFE。它还可能涉及在第二年或第三年在国际实验室（通常是美国、日本或欧盟）至少完成一个合作项目。研究小组致力于创造一个能够产生世界一流科学成果、具有包容性、灵活且适合家庭的环境。
