Abstract:
A self insulating substrate tape, comprising:a first conducting tape having a facing side; a second conducting tape having a facing side facing the facing side of said first conducting tape; an electrically insulating layer interposed between the first conducting tape and the second conducting tape, and securing said first conducting tape to said second conducting tape by adhering to the facing sides of said first conducting tape and said second conducting tape, said electrically insulating layer being capable of withstanding temperatures sufficiently high to make superconducting materials from refractory materials to be applied on the non-facing sides of the first and second conducting tapes without substantially degrading the electrically insulating properties of said layer; and a layer of one of a superconducting material and a superconducting material precursor on each of said first conducting and second conducting tapes on the sides thereof opposite said facing sides.
