    摘要: A cryogenically cooled circuit (12), operating at temperatures at which inductors windings (L1) of the circuit exhibit superconducting characteristics, provides unique advantages in high performance, preferably high power circuits. Portions of the circuit (or the entire circuit), as opposed to, for example only the superconducting elements (i.e., inductor winding (216)), are refrigerated to cryogenic temperatures. Advantages in the characteristics of not only the superconducting based components but also the diodes, and gating elements such as MOSFET's (208-213), yield a uniquely advantageous circuit enabling the operation of, for example, a switching power supplies, frequency converters, and motor speed controllers with increased performance and efficiency. Size, component count, and stability are benefits attained by cryogenically cooling the entire circuit configuration. Cryogenically-cooled solid-state contacting switches may be utilized for connecting/disconnecting AC and/or DC power between the high performance circuit and a source/load.

    摘要: A method of texturing a multifilamentary article having filaments comprising a desired oxide superconductor or its precursors by torsionally deforming the article is provided. The texturing is induced by applying a torsional strain which is at least about 0.3 and preferably at least about 0.6 at the surface of the article, but less than the strain which would cause failure of the composite. High performance multifilamentary superconducting composite articles having a plurality of low aspect ratio, twisted filaments with substantially uniform twist pitches in the range of about 1.00 inch to 0.01 inch (25 to 0.25 mm), each comprising a textured desired superconducting oxide material, may be obtained using this texturing method. If tighter twist pitches are desired, the article may be heat treated or annealed and the strain repeated as many times as necessary to obtain the desired twist pitch. It is preferred that the total strain applied per step should be sufficient to provide a twist pitch tighter than 5 times the diameter of the article, and twist pitches in the range of 1 to 5 times the diameter of the article are most preferred. The process may be used to make a high performance multifilamentary superconducting article, having a plurality of twisted filaments, wherein the degree of texturing varies substantially in proportion to the radial distance from the center of the article cross section, and is substantially radially homogeneous at any given cross section of the article. Round wires and other low aspect ratio multifilamentary articles are preferred forms. The invention is not dependent on the melting characteristics of the desired superconducting oxide. Desired oxide superconductors or precursors with micaceous or semi-micaceous structures are preferred. When used in connection with desired superconducting oxides which melt irreversibly, it provides multifilamentary articles that exhibit high DC performance characteristics and AC performance markedly superior to any currently available for these materials. In a preferred embodiment, the desired superconducting oxide material is BSCCO 2223.

    摘要: Principal types of dielectric ceramics include capacitors, and piezoelectric electrooptic and optical ceramics. The former are typically barium titanates, the latter, so-called PZT or PLZT materials. The ceramic materials are made by forming an alloy including the metallic elements in substantially stoichiometric proportions, and then oxidizing the alloy to produce the ceramic. In preferred embodiments, the alloy includes a dopant that is encapsulated in a noble metal, preferably silver. Preferred dielectrics are made by making a multi-layer structure in which a plurality of alloy layers (typically less than 20, and preferably less than 5, microns thick) are separated by conductive layers (preferably a noble metal), and then oxidizing the overall structure to form a multi-layer capacitor.

    摘要: A strongly-linked polycrystalline oxide superconductor article includes an oxide superconductor selected from the group consisting of 124-type and 247-type oxide superconductors having fine, highly aligned oxide superconductor grains less than 50 νm along a longest dimension. The oxide superconductor article has at least a 25 % retention of critical current density in a 0.1 Tesla field. A method for preparing a strongly-linked oxide superconductor includes shaping a finely divided metallic precursor of an oxide superconductor; oxidizing the finely divided metallic precursor to produce a finely divided sub-oxide species while avoiding conversion of an appreciable amount of the sub-oxide species into the oxide superconductor; annealing and deforming the article, in either order, the annealing carried out at a temperature and for a time sufficient to convert some of the sub-oxide species into fine grains of the oxide superconductor thereby forming a mixture of sub-oxide species and oxide superconductor and the deformation carried out such that the fine grains of oxide superconductor are rotated into alignment parallel to an intended current carrying direction of the article without fracturing or pulverization of the oxide superconductor grains; alternating annealing and deformation of the article until no further improvement in alignment is observed; and subjecting the aligned grains to a final anneal in order to react any remaining sub-oxide species and maximize the growth and sintering of existing aligned grains.

    摘要: A rotating machine includes a stator and a rotor configured to rotate within the stator. Rotor windings are supported in the rotor and are formed of a laminated electrical conductor in a single-layer saddle coil configuration. The conductor includes a first support lamina, a second support lamina, an insert including a high temperature superconductor disposed between the first and second support lamina, and a filler material surrounding the insert that bonds the insert to each of the first and second support lamina. At the location between the first support lamina and second support lamina corresponding to the location of the insert, the width dimension of the filler material on each side of the insert is at least 10 percent of a width of the conductor. The conductor is configured to carry at least 600 Amperes per turn and have a C-axis tensile strength of at least 21 MPa.
