Short description of my work.
After studying Applied Physics at the Enschede Polytechnic and some practical training, I started to work as a researcher at the High Field Magnet Laboratory of the University of Nijmegen (Holland)
I performed critical current (Ic) measurements versus magnetic field at different angles (from 0 0 to 90 0 with steps of 15 0) on 76 filament Bi2212/AgPd samples at 4.2 K. The measurements were done in a 17 Tesla Hybrid Magnet with an external superconductor magnet, able to generate 8 more Tesla.
All the measurements were processed and studied for further research.
I realized Ic and Tc measurements on Cylinders of Bi2212 Bulk Material from Aventis Research & Technologies for the development of SMES systems.
Furthermore, I developed for Alcatel (France) a software program (LabView) for automation of Ic measurements on long length (200 meters) Bi2212/AgPd cables and assisted with these measurements.
I supervised two students (VWO Deventer, The Netherlands) to make Tc measurements and teached the principals of superconductivity.
