Recent papers in the physics literature have introduced spin-coupled (or spinor) Ginzburg–Landau models for complex vector-valued order parameters in order to account for ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic effects in high-temperature superconductors and in optically confined Bose–Einstein condensates. In this paper, we show that such models give rise to new types of vortices, with fractional degree and nontrivial core structure. We illustrate the various possibilites with some specific examples of Dirichlet problems in the unit disk.

We study vortex lattice structure of high temperature superconductors by using the Ginzburg–Landau model. The structure of the vortex lattice is oblique at the temperatures well below the transition temperature Tc, where the mixed s–d state is expected to have the lowest energy. Whereas, very close to Tc, the dx2-y2 wave is slightly lower in energy, and a triangular vortex lattice recovers. The coexistence and the coupling between the s- and d-waves account for the upward curvature of the upper critical field curve HC2(T).

The article is devoted to the study of losses in devices based on high-temperature superconductors of the 2nd generation. The complexity of the devices under study increases from a single rack coil to a winding assembled from several coils, and finally to an electric machine operating in generator mode. This is the way to experimentally study the behavior of 2nd generation high temperature superconductor (2G HTS) carrying a transport current in various conditions: self-field, external DC, and AC magnetic field. Attention is also paid to the losses in the winding during its operation from the inverter, which simulates the operating conditions in the motor mode of a propulsion system.

With the rapid development of manufacturing technology of high temperature superconductive YB[Formula: see text]Cu3O[Formula: see text] YBCO materials and decreasing in cost of production, YBCO is marching into industrial areas with its good performances as source of high-magnetic field and rather low cost in reaching superconductivity. Based on analysis of the performance of high temperature superconductors YBCO and development of technology in superconductive magnetic separation both home and abroad, we propose a new approach of taking YBCO tape to make a solenoid as the source of a high magnetic field of magnetic separatior of ores. The paper also looks into the future of the YBCO high temperature superconductive magnetic separation from the perspective of technology and cost, as well as its applications in other industries.

It is proposed to develop a small spacecraft for an experiment using high-temperature superconductors (HTS) and shape memory materials. The purpose of the experiment is to test a technological capability of creating a strong magnetic field on the small spacecraft using HTS and shape memory materials for deployed large-area structures, and study the magnetic field interaction with the solar wind plasma and the resulting force impact on the small spacecraft. This article is of a polemical character and makes it possible to take a fresh look at the applicability of new technologies in space-system engineering. Key words: high-temperature superconductors, shape memory materials, solar wind, spacecraft.

The Ginzburg–Landau model for superconductivity is examined in the one-dimensional case. First, putting the Ginzburg–Landau parameter κ formally equal to infinity, the existence of a minimizer of this reduced Ginzburg–Landau energy is proved. Then asymptotic behaviour for large κ of minimizers of the full Ginzburg–Landau energy is analysed and different convergence results are obtained, according to the exterior magnetic field. Numerical computations illustrate the various behaviours.

The advantages of high magnetic fields in tokamaks are reviewed, and why they are important in leading to more compact tokamaks. A brief explanation is given of what limits the magnetic field in a tokamak, and why high temperature superconductors (HTSs) are a game changer, not just because of their higher magnetic fields but also for reasons of higher current density and higher operating temperatures. An accelerated pathway to fusion energy is described, defined by the SPARC and ARC tokamak designs. This article is part of a discussion meeting issue ‘Fusion energy using tokamaks: can development be accelerated?’.
