  • Superconducting Fiber and Efficient Cryogenic Cooling
    Publication number: 20160170675
    Abstract: A fiber with a superconducting core and a glassy cladding with or without holes, voids or pores. The cladding voids, holes, pores and/or passageways may be used to carry a medium such as liquid helium to cool the superconducting material to its transition temperature. The cooling medium can be injected via a pressure drop between the open ends of the fiber, i.e. pressure or vacuum.
