β¦ Synopsis
Predictions based on the well known cryogenic stability criterion for the permissible ratio J/Jc of transport to critical current density of high Tc superconductors are compared with a transient analysis. The results demonstrate that calculation of the transient 'temperature history' of the superconductor after a thermal disturbance, as well as knowledge of the magnitude of this disturbance, is necessary when designing a conductor for a particular application. While in other published work on stability analysis, constant heat transfer coefficients were applied, an analysis like the one presented here allows one to calculate more accurately heat transfer by using the transient temperature difference between superconductor and coolant.

A cryogenic sample stage for scanning electron microscopes is described. The setup allows performance of measurements in the temperature range from 1.5 K to 300 K. During the measurements the sample can be irradiated directly by the electron beam. The sample temperature can be stabilized by a temper
A wide variety of superconducting oxides are used to test a general model of high-pressure-induced transition temperature (To) changes. The Tc vary from a low of 24 K to a high of 164 K. Although the model is capable of predicting both increases and decreases in Tc with pressure, only superconductor
## Abstract A planar YBa~2~Cu~3~O~x~ (YBCO) coil has been used as a pickβup coil in a nuclear magnetic resonance imager. It was found that the quality factor __Q__ of the YBCO coil was greater than its copper counterpart by approaching 50% even in a field of 0.15 T. The Q of the copper coil at 77 K
