HTSC disks

Hi, these aren't mine but at $8 plus shipping with minimal work they should still be useable.



EDIT: If anyone stateside wants one of these let me know via PM, I would consider paying shipping on the other as the seller can't send directly to Guernsey for some reason.
Only need the disk, not the magnets etc and hopefully should be able to repair it.

Have done some research and minor cracking is not terminal with these so it might not even need annealing simply drying out at 150C in air would work.
Could also compare with my DIY Y123 once they are finished.

EDIT 2: Will do some work on this once they turn up.
I can't send Y123 due to the barium but BSCCO should be OK and there is a chance the regulations could change if the superconductor is encapsulated in metal (ie indium bismuth) as it would then be a homogenous material under RoHS.




Thanks!!!
