Abstract
A method of making a laminated superconductor wire includes providing an assembly, where the assembly includes a substrate; a superconductor layer overlaying a surface of the substrate, the superconductor layer having a defined pattern; and a cap layer; and slitting the assembly in accordance with the defined pattern of the superconductor layer to form a sealed wire. Slitting the assembly in accordance with the defined pattern may form multiple sealed wires, and the substrate may be substantially wider than the sealed wires.
Claims21
A method of making a laminated superconductor wire, the method comprising:
- providing an assembly, comprising:
- a substrate;
- a superconductor layer overlaying a surface of the substrate, said superconductor layer having a defined pattern, wherein the defined pattern comprises regions free from superconductor material;
- and
- a cap layer;
- slitting through the thickness of the assembly in the region free from superconductor material to form a sealed wire.
