Method for preparing superconducting joints

A method for forming a superconductive joint in tape or wire includes stripping non-superconductive material from the tape ends, joining them conductively and depositing a superconductive alloy layer thereon, typically of triniobium tin, by a chemical vapor deposition reaction of hydrogen with the c...

Zusammenfassung:A method for forming a superconductive joint in tape or wire includes stripping non-superconductive material from the tape ends, joining them conductively and depositing a superconductive alloy layer thereon, typically of triniobium tin, by a chemical vapor deposition reaction of hydrogen with the corresponding metal halides. The joined ends are then covered with a chemically inert but electrically conductive cladding layer. Certain of the steps are performed in an inert atmosphere free from moisture, elemental hydrogen and elemental oxygen, typically a helium atmosphere.
