Superconducting film on metallic wire

摘要

For technological applications of high T(sub c) superconductors, it will be necessary to overcome the inherent problem of brittleness, to develop materials with high current carrying capacity, and to devise ways of joining superconductors with other materials. These issues will be addressed in the context of superconducting films on metallic wires. These composite systems are expected to produce flexible wires with desirable properties.
