Research Themes +
Energy Technologies Area (ETA) researchers are continually building on the strong scientific foundation we have developed over the past 50 years. We address the world’s most pressing climate challenges by bringing to market energy-efficient innovations across the buildings, transportation, and industrial sectors. ETA is at the forefront of developing better batteries for electric vehicles; improving the country's aging electrical grid and innovating distributed energy and storage solutions; developing grid-interactive, efficient buildings; and providing the most comprehensive market and data analysis worldwide for renewable technologies like wind and solar.
Strategic Initiatives +
The Energy Technologies Area (ETA) Strategic Plan is the guiding force for our research and development for the next ten years. It clearly charts a path toward clean-energy solutions and focuses on five detailed Strategic Initiatives. The Plan provides an in-depth look at how ETA is accelerating research to provide affordable, clean energy to all while accomplishing deep, economy-wide decarbonization, looking to avoid a rise in global average temperature while simultaneously developing solutions to increase humanity's resilience to extreme weather volatility.

Abstract

ac permeability and harmonic-generation measurements have been carried out on a pulsed-laser-deposited YBa₂Cu₃O_7-δ thin-film sample. The dependence of the inductive and dissipative components of the permeability on the ac magnetic-field amplitude indicates the absence of intergranular weak links in the sample, in contrast to results from bulk ceramic samples. Both the ac permeability and the harmonic spectra of the sample are well explained in terms of the critical-state model of Bean, which assumes that the critical current is independent of the magnetic field.
