Low-loss niobium-tin compound for superconducting alternating-current power transmission applications.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A Nb(3)Sn superconductor has been fabricated in rods and tapes by the interaction of the tin contained in a copper-tin alloy with niobium which had been in contact with the alloy material. This conductor has lower alternating-current (60 hertz) losses than any presently available commercial products.

متن کاملTbNb6Sn6: the first ternary compound from the rare earth–niobium–tin system
The title compound, terbium hexa-niobium hexastannide, TbNb(6)Sn(6), is the first ternary compound from the rare earth-niobium-tin system. It has the HfFe(6)Ge(6) structure type, which can be analysed as an inter-growth of the Zr(4)Al(3) and CaCu(5) structures. All the atoms lie on special positions; their coordination geometries and site symmetries are: Tb (dodeca-hedron) 6/mmm; Nb (distorted ...
متن کاملLOW-LOSS NbTiN FILMS FOR THz SIS MIXER TUNING CIRCUITS
Recent results at 1 THz using normal-metal tuning circuits have shown that SIS mixers can work well up to twice the gap frequency of the junction material (niobium). However, the performance at 1 THz is limited by the substantial loss in the normal metal films. For better performance superconducting films with a higher gap frequency than niobium and with low RF loss are needed. Niobium nitride ...
متن کاملMetastability in a nanobridge-based hysteretic dc SQUID embedded in a superconducting microwave resonator
We study the metastable response of a highly hysteretic dc superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) made of a niobium loop interrupted by two nanobridges. We excite the SQUID with an alternating current and with direct magnetic flux, and find different stability zones forming diamond-like structures in the measured voltage across the SQUID. When such a SQUID is embedded in a transmis...
