The project is entitled “Ultrafast growth of ultrahigh performance superconducting tapes (ULTRASUPERTAPE)” and has been granted under the Panel PE8 “Products and Processing Engineering”. An unprecedented approach for low cost / high throughput / high performance High Temperature Superconducting tapes for the new clean, efficient and smart energy paradigm is envisaged. A transient liquid assisted growth (TLAG) in chemical solution deposited layers is used to reach ultrafast growth of thick superconducting tapes. An integrated system based on additive manufacturing and digital printing is devised to address a competitive manufacturing process with very high throughput and low cost, where combinatorial chemistry is selectively used for fast screening. Ultra-high tapes performances at high and ultrahigh magnetic fields are envisioned by maximizing the superconducting condensation energy with local strain and electronic state engineering.

Hola! My name is Alex and I just started my PhD in Physics in superconductivity. I love the idea to work in a field which might change our future to a greener one (loss less power grids, fusion plants, energy storages for green energy) and combines basic research with applications. I graduated from Vienna University of Technology but studied some semesters abroad in Göttingen, Germany and at the High Magnetic Field Lab in Tallahassee, Florida. I enjoy deepening my knowledge and understanding of physics and traveling and experiencing new cultures at the same time and  I’m looking forward to a fruitful and great time with all of you here at the ICMAB!
