The Superconductivity Research Laboratory is a joint enterprise on the part of the Agency of Industrial Science & Technology and some 45 corporations in the private sector, with a mandate to develop high temperature superconducting materials. After the completion of Phase I in 1998, Phase II is now currently proceeding and is focussed on the following objectives, according to the most recent report on the Laboratory's activities with respect to applications of high temperature superconductivity:

+ The development of high temperature superconducting bulks (supermagnets).

+ Development of high temperature superconducting wire.

+ Development of high temperature superconducting devices.

+ Conducting a basic study of high temperature superconducting materials.

High Temperature Superconducting Bulks

The Laboratory has already developed high temperature superconducting bulks the key feature of which is that crystal axes grow almost in a line. The material is composed of Nd, Sm, Gd, Y, principally represented by YBa2Cu3O7 referred to as YBCO, from which bulks of 10 cm diameter and 1cm thick have been produced.
