摘要:
A superconducting structural body comprising an oxide based superconducting ceramics powder having a perovskite structure and a metal sheath surrounding the oxide based superconducting ceramics powder, the metal sheath including an Ag portion and a non-Ag metal portion, the Ag portion existing from the inner to outer surfaces of the metal sheath, a superconducting ceramics powder portion existing in the structural body, the non-Ag metal protion used as a structural material of the metal sheath of an outermost layer of the structural body, the superconducting ceramics powder portion and the non-Ag metal portion being disposed so as to be indirectly contact each other through the Ag material, and the superconducting structural body having a compressed oriented layer in which the C-axis of the crystal in the superconducting ceramics powder is oriented in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the superconducting structural body, and in which a thickness thereof is not smaller than 5 .mu.m, and a process for fabricating the superconducting structural body. The superconducting composite wire and cable according to this invention each have effects that the content of Ag, which is very expensive, can be reduced compared to that needed in the conventional wire and cable, that they have excellent strength at a high or room temperature, that they have high critical current density, and they can be produced at ease.

摘要:
Active superconducting devices are formed of thin films of superconductor which include a main conduction channel which has an active weak link region. The weak link region is composed of an array of links of thin film superconductor spaced from one another by voids and selected in size and thickness such that magnetic flux can propagate across the weak link region when it is superconducting. Magnetic flux applied to the weak link region will propagate across the array of links causing localized loss of superconductivity in the links and changing the effective resistance across the links. The magnetic flux can be applied from a control line formed of a superconducting film deposited coplanar with the main conduction channel and weak link region on a substrate. The devices can be formed of any type to superconductor but are particularly well suited to the high temperature superconductors since the devices can be entirely formed from coplanar films with no overlying regions. The devices can be utilized for a variety of electrical components, including switching circuits, amplifiers, oscillators and modulators, and are well suited to microwave frequency applications.
摘要:
A glass-clad wire of ceramic superconductive material is produced by filling a glass-lined metal cylinder with a powder of superconductive material, sealing the cylinder ends and drawing the filled, sealed cylinder through dies of progressively smaller size until a predetermined wire size is achieved. The formed wire is then heat treated to assure necessary crystallinity in the superconductor material. Removal of the outer metal coating leaves a glass-clad superconductor wire.
摘要:
A composite member is prepared which comprises a core which will have a compound superconducting layer when heat-treated, and a stock for forming a stabilizing member made of copper and surrounding the core. The composite member is heat-treated in an oxidizing atmosphere, thus forming a copper-oxide thin layer on the surface of the stock. Thereafter, the composite member is heat-treated in a non-oxidizing atmosphere or in an atmosphere having an oxygen partial pressure which is too low to allow the forming of copper oxide. As a result, a compound superconducting wire is made which comprises a member including a compound superconductor, a diffusion-preventing layer made of oxide and surrounding the member, and a stabilizing member made of copper and surrounding the layer.

An extruded superconductor (1) comprises a conductor core composed of thin metal filaments, for example of niobium-titanium or niobium-tin, and a high-purity aluminium sheath (2) which acts as a stabilizer. A marked reduction in the electrical conductivity perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the conductor is achieved by means of structures (3) in the form of cross-sectionally distributed layers, ribbon-like strips or closely aligned longitudinal single filaments or fibres or bundles of fibres made of a material of low conductivity embedded coaxially in the aluminium sheath. The layers of low conductivity material embedded coaxially in the aluminium sheath may be closed concentric circular sheaths surrounding the conductor core, at a distance from the core and from one another or ribbon-like strips made of the low conductivity material arranged in a star-shaped configuration about the conductor core.
