Patent EP-1472745-A1 (EP)
Inventor: MANNHART JOCHEN DIETER PROF DR
IPC: H01L39/24
Filed: 2002-01-29
Abstract: The present invention concerns the improvement of the supercurrent carrying capabilities, i.e. the increase of critical current densities, of polycrystalline superconductor structures, especially of high-Tcsuperconductors. By modifying the microstructure of the substrate or by appropriately influencing the buffer layers in coated conductors to obtain grains with large aspect ratios which are predominantly oriented along the direction of the current flow, grain boundaries with large areas are obtained in the polycrystalline superconducting film that can support large critical currents along the superconductor. Thereby large critical currents are obtained in the superconductor for a given spread of misorientation angles of the grains.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une méthode permettant d'accélérer la croissance des végétaux et une source lumineuse utilisée dans cette méthode. Dans cette méthode, la lumière est émise à plusieurs longueurs d'ondes discrètes, telles que 435 nm, 451 nm, 660 nm et, éventuellement, 638 nm, par exemple. Les longueurs d'ondes de 435 nm et 451 nm sont utilisées pour séparer l'hydrogène du H2O, alors que les longueurs d'ondes de 660 nm et, éventuellement, de 638 nm, sont utilisées pour la photosynthèse. Par ailleurs, la lumière est émise avec un nombre donnée de photons. La méthode et la source lumineuse de l'invention permettent de fournir uniquement de la lumière utile aux végétaux, exempte des longueurs d'ondes qui ne sont pas utiles pour les processus biologiques des végétaux. En d'autres termes, les végétaux ne vont pas devoir absorber la lumière qui ne leur est pas utile, qu'ils absorbent en temps normal et qui génère de la chaleur et nécessite un refroidissement ultérieur, sans avoir un quelconque effet bénéfique sur leur croissance.
