Description
Summary:Magnetic levitation technologies are studied as an innovative basis for developing contactless systems for delivering cryogenic targets to the laser focus of an ICF facility or future power plant. A necessary element of such systems is a special target carrier made of high-temperature superconductors (HTSC) with high vortex pinning. It is shown experimentally that an HTSC carrier in the form of an outer coating of the target makes it possible to completely eliminate mechanical friction during target acceleration due to its levitation in gradient magnetic fields. The prospects for further development of this direction in the area of creating HTSC nanostructured films and coatings are discussed.
