The use of a high-T, YBaCuO superconducting film as a switch element of a rectifier was investigated. It was shown that a film can work as a controlled switch at a frequency up to 20 Hz, at current "4 A and voltage "4 V with current-stimulated quench. Film performance in the switch mode was calculated and theories and experiments were compared. Based on high-T, films it is possible to develop superconducting rectifiers that can work at the temperature of liquid nitrogen.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
