Abstract
This paper reports a study of HTS pancake coils without turn-to-turn insulation. Three no-insulation (NI) pancake coils were wound: each single and double pancake coil of Bi2223 conductor and one single pancake of ReBCO conductor. An equivalent electrical circuit for modeling NI coils was verified by two sets of test: 1) charge-discharge; and 2) sudden discharge. Also, an overcurrent test in which a current exceeding a coil's critical current by 2.3 times was performed, and analysed, to demonstrate that in terms of stability NI HTS coils outperform their counterparts. The new NI winding offers HTS coils enhanced performance in three key parameters: overall current density; thermal stability; and mechanical integrity.

45.5-tesla direct-current magnetic field generated with a high-temperature superconducting magnet

TL;DR: A copper oxide high-temperature superconductor magnet generates a direct-current magnetic field of 45.5 tesla—the highest value reported so far—using a design that enables operation at high current densities, validates predictions11 for high-field copper oxide super Conductor magnets by achieving a field twice as high as those generated by low-tem temperature superconducting magnets.

Turn-to-turn contact characteristics for an equivalent circuit model of no-insulation ReBCO pancake coil

TL;DR: Experimental and analytical studies on the characteristic resistance of NI (no-insulation) ReBCO pancake coils, which are used in an equivalent circuit model to characterize 'radial as well as spiral' current paths within the NI coils, identified turn-to-turn contact resistance as a major source of the characteristic Resistance of an NI coil.

Recent Developments in High-Temperature Superconducting Magnet Technology (Review)

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed recent progress in overcoming these technological problems for high temperature superconducting magnet (HTS magnet technology) and REBCO magnet technology, especially in the case of REBCo conductors, and concluded that the performance degradation due to excessive mechanical stresses applied along the longitudinal and transverse direction is the major problem for HTS magnet.

Metallic insulation for superconducting coils

TL;DR: In this paper, an anodization coating for metallic insulation for superconducting coils is discussed. And the coating can be selectively removed to provide shunt current paths when the coil experiences a quench condition to preclude coil damage.
