Study of critical currents of very thin multilayered structures
Abstract
Research aimed at developing a high current density superconducting power transmission line with low ac losses is reported. Specifically, a study is made of the enhancement of the maximum superconducting current density that can be sustained in Nb3Sn through formation of fine scale layered composites. Procedures are described which enable fabrication of these composites by electron beam evaporation. In addition, studies on dielectric losses in potential low temperature insulating materials are surveyed. Relevant supplementary information is presented.
