Scope Notes

Glossary: Abrikosov vortex vortex of supercurrent in a superconductor circulating around the normal conducting core of the vortex cryotron cryotrons device that uses externally induced switching of a current carrying element between superconductive and normal states by electric, magnetic or heating means, e.g. using a gate conductor, coil, resistive heater Tc critical temperature; Curie temperature; Curie point high T c Tc above 30 K; more frequently Tc above 90 K, may be cooled by liquid nitrogen | Limiting references: Integrated devices or assemblies comprising multiple superconducting elements | Application references: Superconductive magnetometers, e.g. SQUIDs Superconductive magnetometers using magnetic resonance Systems for storing electric energy Dynamo-electric machines, e.g. electric motors or generators, with superconductive windings Magnetic holding or levitation devices using superconductivity Magnetic holding or levitation devices using superconductivity for trains
