Abstract:
1. A superconductor comprising: a substrate upon which are disposed a plurality of superconducting filaments, and a covering comprising longitudinally disposed wires with a first resistivity in a first direction and transversely disposed wires with a second resistivity in a second direction, such that the covering has anisotropic resistivity, wherein the covering is disposed on and in electrical communication with the filaments, wherein the covering comprises a mesh, the mesh comprising the longitudinally disposed wires that are in electrical communication with and aligned with the filaments, and the transversely disposed wires crossing the filaments, wherein the longitudinally disposed wires comprise a first conducting material and the transversely disposed wires comprise a second conducting material, the first conducting material having a resistivity in the range of 2 nΩm to 20 nΩm at a temperature of approximately 77 degrees Kelvin, and the second conducting material having a thermal conductivity in the range 200 nΩm to 1200 nΩm at a temperature of approximately 77 degrees Kelvin.
