Book excerpt: This is a multiyear experimental research program focused on improving relevant material properties of high-T{sub c} superconductors (HTSs) and on development of fabrication methods that can be transferred to industry for production of commercial conductors. The development of teaming relationships through agreements with industrial partners is a key element of the Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) program. Recent results are presented on YBa2Cu3O(subscript x) (Y-123) coated conductors, including fabrication by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) and sol-gel techniques. An approach to understanding the critical current density (J{sub c}) of grain boundaries is also presented and a technique is identified for increasing J{sub c}.
