Dr. Sumption's Research Focuses on the Materials Science and Solid State Physics of Superconducting and Magnetic Materials.
Research interests include (i) MgB2 materials, with a focus on dopant-induced enhancements of the upper critical fields and the related structural and transport properties, (ii) flux pinning and upper critical fields in Nb3Sn and MgB2, (iii) the study of energy loss due to flux motion in superconducting materials and the influence of composite structure, (iv) flux pinning in multilayer YBCO, (v) the current limiting mechanisms in superconducting strands based on materials with the A15 structure (as well as others), (vi) the study of the diffusion length of Cooper pairs from one filament to another in very fine filament composite strands, (vii) phase formation and diffusion in the Nb-Cu-Sn-Ti-Ta system, (viii) conductor fabrication and large scale application.
