  • Process for the increase in critical temperature of high T.sub.c superconductors
    Patent number: 5308801
    Abstract: A method is disclosed to increase the critical transition temperature of superconducting materials by the selective application of stress to specific crystal directions. It has been found that by applying tensile stresses in certain directions and compressive stresses in other directions that the critical temperature of superconducting materials can be substantially increased.
