Abstract
A method of increasing the upper critical field of a crystalline superconducting material is provided, which comprises the steps of converting the crystalline superconducting material to a substantially amorphous state, and then re compacting and crystallising the material. The method also has the effect of increasing the critical current density of the material, and is effective with both brittle and ductile superconductors.
