Analogous to materials by design, it aims at predicting the optimal defect landscape in a superconductor for targeted applications by elucidating the vortex dynamics responsible for the bulk critical current. To highlight this approach, we demonstrate the synergistic combination of critical current measurements on commercial high-temperature superconductors containing self-assembled and irradiation tailored correlated defects by using large-scale time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau simulations for vortex dynamics.}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/toward-superconducting-critical-current-by-design/}, pages = {4593-4600}, journal = {Advanced Materials}, volume = {28}, number = {23}, }
