Claim 9:
10. A method for fabricating a round superconductor wire, the method comprising:
winding a first superconductor tape around a wire former; and
winding a second superconductor tape around the first superconductor tape;
wherein the first superconductor tape and the second superconductor tape each respectively comprise:
a bottom stabilizer layer;
a bottom silver layer disposed above the bottom stabilizer layer;
a substrate disposed above the bottom silver layer;
a buffer film stack disposed above the substrate;
a superconductor film disposed above the buffer film stack;
a top silver layer disposed above the superconductor film; and
a top stabilizer layer disposed above the top silver layer; and

wherein at least one of the bottom stabilizer layer, bottom silver layer, substrate, buffer film stack, superconductor film, top silver layer, or top stabilizer layer is of a different width, thickness, or material composition in the first superconductor tape than in the second superconductor tape.
