The Advanced Technology Program (ATP) is a new extra mural program operated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for the Department of Commerce’s Technology Administration. The ATP will help enhance U.S. competitiveness by funding the development of pre-competitive, generic technologies in partnership with industry. This paper describes the ATP, the first ATP awards made by NIST, and the prognosis for the success of the ATP.

A residual magnetization induced in Nb3Zr wires by axial fields appreciably enhances Ic. Further, the presence of a conduction current as an axial field Hz is removed not only leads to considerably increased residual moments but also enables the wire to support currents at H = 0 much larger than is possible in the virgin state.
