- The use of superconductors in permanent-magnet-like rotary machines was severely undermined due to magnetization decay after just a couple of field cycles. The significance of this paper is our discovery that by using stacked 2G-HTS tapes, less than 10% of the magnetization is lost after 100 cycles. Our results are already validated, influencing major research projects such as the UK-EPSRC grants EP/S025707/1 and EP/P000738/1, the EU grants Horizon 2020 - 7231119, VEGA-2/0097/18, and APVV-14-0438. It has also been cited as the roadmap for high power density superconducting machines in independent topical reviews such as Supercond.Sci.Technol. 30, 123002(2017).
