Title: Superconducting joint using exfoliated ReBCO
Inventor: GREG BRITTLES
IPC: H01R4/68
Filed: 2017-08-25
Abstract: According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of forming a superconducting joint between ReBCO tapes. Two or more ReBCO tapes are provided, each having an exposed ReBCO region. A bridge 53 is provided, comprising an exposed ReBCO layer and an oxygen-permeable backing on the exposed ReBCO layer. Each exposed ReBCO region is bonded to the exposed ReBCO layer of the bridge by heating to a first temperature (T1) in an environment where the partial pressure of oxygen is sufficiently low that the melting point of the ReBCO (TR) is less than the melting point of silver (TAg), the temperature (T1) being between the melting point of the ReBCO (TR) and the melting point of silver (TAg), (TR<T1<TAg). The resulting joint is annealed at a second temperature (T2) which is less than the melting point of ReBCO (TR) (T2<TR), for a time (t), in an environment where the partial pressure of oxygen is sufficient to reoxygenate the ReBCO at the second temperature (T2). The backing allows this second stage to be quicker. Alternatively the two tapes may have silver (414, Fig 4) on both sides, and no bridge is needed.
