Multilayer Nb3Sn superconducting shields
Abstract
Multilayer Nb3Sn shields have been designed, fabricated, and tested for use in low field, e.g., superconducting electronics applications. Magnetic field profiles, shielding factors, and thermal effects are reported for these shields. The quality of the shields depends strongly on the reaction temperature used to form the Nb3Sn layers with lower reaction temperatures forming better quality shields. Nearly ideal behavior was observed with a reaction temperature of 750 C.
