  • Novel superconducting articles, and methods for forming and using same
    Publication number: 20060223711
    Abstract: A superconducting tape is disclosed, including a substrate having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, the substrate including a plurality of indicia provided on the first surface spaced apart along a length of the substrate; and a superconductor layer overlying the second surface. Also disclosed are components incorporating superconducting tapes, methods for manufacturing same, and methods for using same.
    Type: Application
    Filed: December 15, 2005
    Publication date: October 5, 2006
    Applicant: SUPERPOWER, INC.
    Inventors: Allan Knoll, Kenneth Lenseth
  • Novel superconducting articles, and methods for forming and using same
    Publication number: 20050139380
    Abstract: A superconducting tape is disclosed, including a substrate, a buffer layer overlying the substrate, a superconductor layer overlying the buffer layer, and an electroplated stabilizer layer overlying the superconductor layer. Also disclosed are components incorporating superconducting tapes, methods for manufacturing same, and methods for using same. The tape provides for low AC losses, and is particularly suitable for deployment in components where attenuation of AC losses is important, such as in rotating machines.
