This article is published with open access at S Abstract Nb Sn and other A15 members have been years, they have never received large-scale applications due to 3 widely applied in nuclear power, nuclear magnetic reso- their various technical problems. In fact, nowadays—in nance, and high-energy particle accelerators for their high almost everywhere—a high magnetic field is necessary, so critical current density (Jc) and upper critical field (Bc2). A15 superconductors are used. With the pressing energy There have been comprehensive and intensive studies on the problem, Nb Al and Nb Sn have been suggested as the 3 3 applications, the fundamental lattice dynamic and electronic superconductors for creating the high magnetic field to control properties, etc., of A15 superconductors. Various reviews on the plasma in the International thermonuclear experimental the preparations, structures, and properties have already reactor (ITER). In addition, the large amount of need for been written in the last few years. Nevertheless, on account superconductors in the superconducting maglev (SCMaglev) of the large amount of existing facts and views, a coherent [6] vehicle has also stimulated studies for developing new view on the relations between the structures and properties techniques for manufacturing stable and durable supercon-
