Abstract
(RE)Ba 2 Cu 3 O 7-δ bulks are well known for their ability to trap high magnetic fields; however, it has been recently shown by the current authors that stacks of commercial YBCOcoated conductor tape can outperform YBCO bulks of similar size at temperatures below 60 K due to their superior thermal stability during multipulse magnetization. The latest progress in a comprehensive study being undertaken to optimize and tailor the stacks for applications will be discussed. In this paper, a method of binding layers of superconducting tape is reported, namely, soldering of Pb-Sn solder-coated high-temperature superconducting tape developed by SuperOx. The performance of tape before and after the soldering procedure is discussed, and a 100-layer stack, trapping a field of up to 1.6 T above the surface after pulse magnetization at 10 K, is reported.Keywords
