    摘要: A method of making a film comprising depositing magnesium and boron on a substrate; depositing a capping layer to form a capped film; and cooling the capped film so as to form a magnesium diboride film. The depositing may comprise tuning a ratio of the Mg to the B so as to tailor a resistivity of the magnesium diboride film anywhere in the range 10 μΩ*cm≤ρ≤500 mΩ*cm, and so as to form the magnesium diboride film comprising a superconductive film having a critical temperature greater than 10K or in a range 10K-40K. The magnesium diboride film can have an area greater than or equal to a circular area having a diameter of at least 4 inches; a thickness and sheet resistance varying by less than 10% over an entirety of the area; and a surface roughness less than 2 nm over the entirety of the area.

    摘要: A superconducting wire according to the present disclosure includes: a base material; a superconductor layer formed on each of the respective surfaces of the base material; and a conductive protection layer formed on each of the surfaces of the respective superconductor layers. The thickness of each of the conductive protection layers is 5% or less of the skin depth when a high-frequency current flows through the superconducting wire. The material for forming the conductive protection layer may be, for example, silver.

    摘要: An electronic device (e.g., a diode) is provided that includes a substrate and a patterned layer of superconducting material disposed over the substrate. The patterned layer forms a first electrode, a second electrode, and a loop coupling the first electrode with the second electrode by a first channel and a second channel. The first channel and the second channel have different minimum widths. For a range of current magnitudes, when a magnetic field is applied to the patterned layer of superconducting material, the conductance from the first electrode to the second electrode is greater than the conductance from the second electrode to the first electrode.
