    摘要: The present invention relates to a precursor (1) for production of a high-temperature superconductor (HTS) in ribbon form, comprising a metallic substrate (10) in ribbon form having a first ribbon side (11) and a second ribbon side (12), wherein, on the first ribbon side (11), (a) the substrate (10) has a defined texture as template for crystallographically aligned growth of a buffer layer or an HTS layer and (b) an exposed surface of the substrate (10) is present or one or more layers (20,30) are present that are selected from the group consisting of: buffer precursor layer, pyrolyzed buffer precursor layer, buffer layer, HTS precursor layer, pyrolyzed HTS buffer precursor layer and pyrolyzed and further consolidated HTS buffer precursor layer, and, on the second ribbon side (12), at least one ceramic barrier layer (40) that protects the substrate (10) against oxidation or a precursor which is converted to such a layer during the HTS crystallization annealing or the pyrolysis is present, wherein, when one or more layers (20, 30) are present on the first ribbon side (11), the ceramic barrier layer (40) or the precursor thereof has a different chemical composition and/or a different texture than the layer (20) arranged on the first ribbon side (11) and directly adjoining the substrate (10). In this precursor, the barrier layer (40) is a layer that delays or prevents ingress of oxygen to the second ribbon side (12) and is composed of conductive ceramic material or a precursor which is converted to such a precursor during the HTS crystallization annealing or the pyrolysis, and the ceramic material is an electrically conductive metal oxide or an electrically conductive mixture of metal oxides, wherein the conductive metal oxide or one or more metal oxides in the conductive mixture is/are preferably metal oxide(s) doped with an extraneous metal.

    摘要: Superconductive fullerenes, methods for enhancing characteristics of superconductive fullerenes and devices incorporating the fullerenes are disclosed. Enhancements can include increase in the critical transition temperature at a constant magnetic field; the existence of a superconducting hysteresis over a changing magnetic field; a decrease in the stabilizing magnetic field required for the onset of superconductivity; and/or an increase in the stability of superconductivity over a large magnetic field. The enhancements can be brought about by transmitting electromagnetic radiation to the superconductive fullerene such that the electromagnetic radiation impinges on the fullerene with an energy that is greater than the band gap of the fullerene.

    摘要: A technique relates a superconducting microwave cavity. An array of posts has different heights in the cavity, and the array supports a localized microwave mode. The array of posts includes lower resonant frequency posts and higher resonant frequency posts. The higher resonant frequency posts are arranged around the lower resonant frequency posts. A first plate is opposite a second plate in the cavity. One end of the lower resonant frequency posts is positioned on the second plate so as to be electrically connected to the second plate. Another end of the lower resonant frequency posts in the array is open so as not to form an electrical connection to the first plate. Qubits are connected to the lower resonant frequency posts in the array of posts, such that each of the qubits is physically connected to one or two of the lower resonant frequency posts in the array of posts.

    摘要: Operational characteristics of an high temperature superconducting (“HTS”) film comprised of an HTS material may be improved by depositing a modifying material onto appropriate surfaces of the HTS film to create a modified HTS film. In some implementations of the invention, the HTS film may be in the form of a “c-film.” In some implementations of the invention, the HTS film may be in the form of an “a-b film,” an “a-film” or a “b-film.” The modified HTS film has improved operational characteristics over the HTS film alone or without the modifying material. Such operational characteristics may include operating in a superconducting state at increased temperatures, carrying additional electrical charge, operating with improved magnetic properties, operating with improved mechanic properties or other improved operational characteristics. In some implementations of the invention, the HTS material is a mixed-valence copper-oxide perovskite, such as, but not limited to YBCO. In some implementations of the invention, the modifying material is a conductive material that bonds easily to oxygen, such as, but not limited to, chromium.
