Multifilamentary Nb3Sn wires will be a critical component of a magnetic fusion reactor, which requires a high magnetic field for confinement of the plasma. The international effort to demonstrate the feasibility of the reactor design (International Toroidal Engineering Reactor, ITER) has very stringent requirements for the hysteresis loss and the critical current density Jc(≤ 600 mJ/cm3 and ≥700 A/mm2, respectively) of the Nb3Sn wires which are to be used for the central toroidal field coil magnet. Although short wire specimens can meet these requirements, consistently fabricating long lengths of wire meeting these specifications is not trivial. A part of this inconsistency is related to the effects of the temperature ramp rate on these critical properties. Thus, to investigate the observed ramp rate dependencies a metallurgical examination was performed. Samples of wires were subjected to two controlled temperature ramp cycles. Wire cross-sections were examined from samples removed at various stages of the two ramp cycles.

We have developed a method that allows, by a simple set of magnetic measurements, to study the texturing of the grains inside a BSCCO-Ag tape. Because the texture is anisotropic we define the angle ϑ L that identifies the mean grain misalignment angle with respect to the tape surface in longitudinal direction (i.e. rolling direction) and the angle ϑ T in transverse direction. The technique is based on the assumption that, because of the very high anisotropy of the critical current density in BSCCO superconducting compounds, the magnetic moment is essentially generated by the current circulating in the a-b planes of the BSCCO grains. The different magnetisation cycles, measured when the orientation of the magnetic field with respect to the tape surface is changed, depend only on the grain orientation inside the tape, which determines the effective magnetic field component normal to the a-b planes of the grains. Here we present the texture evolution of the BSCCO grains inside silver sheated multifilamentary tape starting from the initial steps of the mechanical deformation up to the final heating stage. The results obtained from the magnetic method are compared with those obtained with other methods, i.e. X-ray diffraction and critical current density anisotropy. Also results obtained on samples prepared in different way will be presented.

An attempt is made to present some experimental predictions of the five dimensions Kaluza–Klein theory. The conversion of photons into dilatons in the static magnetic fields are considered in detail. The differential cross-sections are presented for the conversions in a magnetic field of the flat condensor and a magnetic field of the solenoid. A numerical evaluation shows that in the present technical scenario, the creation of dilatons at high energies may have the observable value.

We have investigated athermal and isothermal martensitic transformations (typical displacive transformations) in Fe–Ni, Fe–Ni–Cr, and Ni-Co-Mn-In alloys under magnetic fields and hydrostatic pressures in order to understand the time-dependent nature of martensitic transformation, that is, the kinetics of martensitic transformation. We have confirmed that the two transformation processes are closely related to each other, that is, the athermal process changes to the isothermal process and the isothermal process changes to the athermal one under a hydrostatic pressure or a magnetic field. These findings can be explained by the phenomenological theory, which gives a unified explanation for the two transformation processes previously proposed by our group.
