Superconductors for Large-Scale Applications
Subhojit Bose, Sarit Chakraborty, Biplab Roy and Pinku Chandra Nath
The discovery of superconducting material and its synthesis leads to several advantages application in the modern developing society. The advantages of superconducting material cover a broad area of research. In superconductors, one of the characteristics that distinguish them is their critical temperature. This temperature specifies the range and kind of superconducting materials that may be used in industrial applications and generate profit. In this chapter, some of the advantageous applications of semiconducting materials are discussed that includes the magnetic levitation train, the nuclear magnetic resonance, superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES), and the transmission of electrical energy. Furthermore, advantageous use of fast-field cyclic nuclear magnetic resonance which benefits from superconducting blocks is presented. The unexpected discovery of superconducting materials also sparked the research in fundamental physics, material science and advantageous technological application to improve the quality of daily human life.
