    摘要: A method for manufacturing a superconductor is described. A metal assembly precursor can be formed within a hollow copper support element. Forming the metal assembly precursor within a hollow copper support element by positioning a plurality of conductor elements about a core including Sn to provide a first plurality of inner interstitial spaces between the plurality of conductor elements between the core and conductor elements and a second plurality of outer interstitial spaces between the hollow copper support element and the core, the plurality of conductor elements including unreacted Nb. The metal assembly precursor can be reduced via cold drawing to produce a reduced metal assembly. The reduced metal assembly can be reaction heat treated so that the unreacted Nb undergoes a phase transformation to a reacted superconductor.

    摘要: Methods of forming semiconductor-superconductor hybrid devices with a horizontally-confined channel are described. An example method includes forming a first isolated semiconductor heterostructure and a second isolated semiconductor heterostructure. The method further includes forming a left gate adjacent to a first side of each of the first isolated semiconductor heterostructure and the second isolated semiconductor heterostructure. The method further includes forming a right gate adjacent to a second side, opposite to the first side, of each of the first isolated semiconductor heterostructure and the second isolated semiconductor heterostructure, where a top surface of each of the left gate and the right gate is offset vertically from a selected surface of each of the first isolated semiconductor heterostructure and the second isolated semiconductor heterostructure by a predetermined offset amount. The method further includes forming a superconducting layer over each of the first isolated semiconductor heterostructure and the second isolated semiconductor heterostructure.

    摘要: A subelement (1) for an Nb3Sn-containing superconductor wire includes



    an Sn-containing core (2),
    an inner matrix (5) which includes Cu and surrounds the Sn-containing core (2),
    a region (7) of mutually abutting Nb-containing rod elements (8, 30), which surrounds the inner matrix (5), where the Nb-containing rod elements (8, 30) are each configured with an Nb-containing core filament (9; 31) and a Cu-containing filament casing (10),
    an outer matrix (6) which includes Cu and surrounds the region (7) of Nb-containing rod elements (8, 30). The Sn-containing core (2) has a core tube (3) into which an Sn-containing powder (4) has been introduced, the Sn-containing powder (4) being in a compacted state. This provides a subelement for an Nb3Sn-containing superconductor wire which cost-effectively yields an improved superconducting current carrying capacity.
