Patent ID: 10650937

Abstract:
Various examples are provided for superlattice conductors. In one example, a planar conductor includes a plurality of stacked layers including copper thin film layers and nickel thin film layers, where adjacent copper thin film layers of the copper thin film layers are separated by a nickel thin film layer of the plurality of nickel thin film layers. In another example, a conductor includes a plurality of radially distributed layers including a non-ferromagnetic core; a nickel layer disposed about and encircling the non-ferromagnetic core; and a copper layer disposed on and encircling the nickel layer. In another example, a hybrid conductor includes a core; and a plurality of radially distributed layers disposed about a portion of an outer surface of the core, the plurality of radially distributed layers include alternating ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic layers. In other hybrid conductors, the radially distributed layers can utilize magnetic and non-magnetic materials.
