Rare-earth barium copper oxide

Rare-earth barium copper oxide (also referred to as ReBCO[1]) is a family of chemical compounds known for exhibiting high temperature superconductivity.[2] ReBCO superconductors have the potential to sustain stronger magnetic fields than other superconductors materials. Due to their stronger magnetic field and their relatively high superconducting critical temperature these materials have been proposed for future magnetic confinement fusion reactors such as the ARC reactor, allowing a more compact and economical construction.[3]
