Recent Developments in High-Field Superconductors in Japan

  • Chapter
Superconductor Materials Science: Metallurgy, Fabrication, and Applications

Part of the book series: NATO Advanced Study Institutes Series ((NSSB,volume 68))

Abstract

In this article, recent developments in high-field superconductors capable of generating magnetic fields above 10 T, which have been mainly- achieved at the National Research Institute for Metals (NRIM) are described. These high-field superconductors are expected to be useful for high field superconducting devices. As shown in Figure 1, the Nb3Sn tape produced by the surface diffusion process first exceeded 10 T in 1966 [1], and is being widely used for 15 T class superconducting magnets. Then, the V3Ga tape generated 17.5 T, the highest field record in superconducting state, in 1975.
