Programs on Superconducting Materials and Miniature Cryocoolers in the United States

A survey of major US programs on superconducting materials and miniature cryocoolers is presented. Programs are classified and tabulated into three categories. About 50 programs are reported for superconducting materials and about 17 for miniature cryocooler. For each program, the organization, key person/s, brief description, source and amount of funding are given. Brief texts accompany each of the three summaries.
