The "superconductive" state of a material is individually characterised

by a "critical temperature", a critical magnetic field, which is a

function of temperature, and a critical current density which is,

however, a function of both magnetic field and temperature.

"Technology"

"use" of a product. The information takes the form of 'technical data' or

'technical assistance'. Controlled "technology" for the EU Common
