Nbti Superconductors with Artificial Pinning Structures

  • Chapter
Supercollider 2

Abstract

Multifilament NbTi superconductors have been fabricated with artificial pinning centers (APC) by present state of the art wire processing. Copper and niobium are each tried as the pinning material. The APC superconductor was designed such that the flux lattice spacing can be comparable to the spacing of the pinning center. The pinning strength of the APC superconductor was found to depend on the pinning material, and its volume percent relative to the NbTi. Preliminary critical current densities of 2893 A/mm2 at 5 Tesla and 9517 A/mm2 at 2 Tesla in experimental materials containing one micron filaments have been obtained.
