ARTIFICIALLY LAYERED MATERIALS WITH HIGH SUPERCONDUCTIVE CRITICAL CURRENTS

THE INNOVATION IS AN ARTIFICIALLY LAYERED MATERIAL WITH FERROMAGNETIC AND HI-TC SUPERCONDUCTIVE COMPONENTS. THIS HAS BEEN ACHIEVED IN PHASE I BY EXPERIMENTING WITH VARIOUS FERROMAGNETIC AND HI-TC MATERIALS. THE ORIGINAL PHASE I APPLICATION WAS HIGHER SUPERCONDUCTIVE CRITICAL CURRENTS BY PINNING THE MAGNETIC FLUX IN THE FERROMAGNETIC LAYER. HOWEVER, AFTER EXPERIMENTATION IN PHASE I, THE APPLICATION IN THE PHASE II PROPOSAL HAS BEEN SWITCHED TO NOVEL ELECTRONIC DEVICES. THESE COMBINE THE HIGH FREQUENCY, HIGH EFFICIENCY CAPABILITY OF SUPERCONDUCTORS WITH THE LARGE MAGNETIC MOMENTS OF FERROMAGNETS TO YIELD SUPERIOR ELECTRONICS. THESE CONCEPTS HAVE GENERALITY AND CAN BE APPLIED TO MANY TYPES OF ELECTRONICS. HIGHER EFFICIENCY, SMALLER SIZE, AND HIGHER FREQUENCY PERFORMANCE ARE ANTICIPATED FOR A WIDE CLASS OF NOVEL ADVANCED ELECTRONICS.
