Ce projet de thèse porte sur le développement d'un dispositif instrumental basé sur les propriétés de non linéarité intrinsèques au matériau supraconducteur YBa2Cu3O7, qui restent jusqu'à présent peu explorées dans le régime radiofréquence (RF). Ceci, dans l'objectif de contrôler la commutation d'antennes supraconductrices ultrasensibles dédiées à l'Imagerie par Résonance Magnétique (IRM), de l'état supraconducteur à un état dissipatif. L'implémentation des antennes SHTC en imagerie permet d'atteindre les plus grandes sensibilités de détection observées actuellement en IRM à champ clinique, ce qui ouvre la voie au développement de l'imagerie moléculaire d'agents de contraste. Leur utilisation demeure cependant trop minoritaire et ce, entre autre, à cause de l'incompatibilité de la mise en œuvre des antennes YBa2Cu3O7 avec les méthodes de détection quantitative actuellement implémentées en imagerie moléculaire. Comme les techniques habituelles de découplage d'antennes ne sont pas transposables aux matériaux supraconducteurs, l'inactivation des antennes YBa2Cu3O7 à des échelles de temps compatibles avec une séquence IRM (< 1 msec) est un véritable défi, à la fois scientifique et technologique. Ce travail de recherche a pour but d'évaluer les performances de matériaux supraconducteurs à haute température critique tels que l' YBa2Cu3O7 en champ magnétique et dans le domaine des RF, en fonction de leurs propriétés nano-structurales et géométriques, et de développer un système permettant une commutation ultra rapide (ms) de l'état supraconducteur à l'état dissipatif et réciproquement, afin d'éviter le phénomène de concentration du flux magnétique lors de la phase émission, et de préserver la sensibilité du résonateur supraconducteur lors de la phase détection. / The aim of this work is to develop an instrumental device based on the nonlinear behaviour of superconducting materials such as YBa2Cu3O7 as a function of the emitted rf power, with the objective of controlling the switch between the zero resistance state and a dissipative state. This will then be applied to superconducting ultra-sensitive coils dedicated to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The implementation of HTS coils for biomedical imaging improves the sensitivity of the acquired images in standard clinical MRI devices. The superconducting coils are currently not implemented because of their incompatibility with quantitative detection methods used in molecular imaging today. As usual decoupling techniques for pick-up coils are not transferable to superconducting materials, the inactivation of superconducting YBa2Cu3O7 coils is a technical and a scientific challenge. The overall objective of this research work is to evaluate the performance of HTS materials in non-zero magnetic fields, in the radiofrequency regime, as a function of the nanostructural and geometric attributes of the material. Based on this, I shall develop a system for ultra-fast switch (msec) from the superconducting state to the dissipative state and vice versa, to avoid the phenomenon of of magnetic flux concentration during the emission phase.

High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) is a rapidly growing form of power transmission that offers advantages with respect to conventional AC networks. One of the key elements that will allow the generalization of the HVDC grids is the Circuit Breaker (CB), which has to interrupt high DC currents in extremely short times. The use of a Thomson coil (TC) to generate high driving forces is being considered as a suitable working principle for the mechanical actuator inside the CB. This thesis presents the design of a concept of a mechanical actuator based on the Thomson coil for SCiBreak AB, a company whose final objective is to create a complete ultra-fast circuit breaker for HVDC lines. The design phase had to face challenges with the high forces required to open a gap between electrical contacts in just a few milliseconds. A detail design for the different components of the actuator was performed and analytical and CAD models of the system were generated. This thesis also included the construction and testing of a prototype at the company’s premises. The final output was the analysis and discussion of the experimental results of the prototype, as well as suggestions for the future development of the mechanical actuator. / Högspänd likström (HVDC, från engelskans High Voltage Direct Current) är en snabbt växande form av kraftöverföring som har många fördelar jämfört med konventionella växelströmsnätverk. Ett av huvudelementen i nätet är strömbrytaren (CB, från engelskans Circuit Breaker), vilken möjliggör avbrott i de höga likströmmarna på extremt korta tider. Användandet av en Thomson-spole (TC, från engelskans Thomson Coil) för att generera höga drivkrafter anses vara en lämplig arbetsprincip för manöverdonet inuti CB. I detta projekt konstruerades ett koncept av ett mekaniskt manöverdon baserat på Thomson-spolen för SCiBreak AB, ett företag vars slutliga mål är att skapa en komplett ultrasnabb strömbrytare för HVDC-linjer. Designfasen mötte utmaningar med de höga krafter som krävs för att öppna ett gap mellan elektriska kontakter på bara några millisekunder. En detaljdesign för de olika komponenterna i manöverdonet utfördes och analytiska och CAD-modeller av systemet genererades. Projektet omfattade också tillverkning och provning av en prototyp i företagets lokaler. Slutprodukten var en analys och en diskussion av prototypens experimentella resultat samt förslag till framtida utveckling av det mekaniska manöverdonet.
