Low-loss niobium--tin compound for superconducting alternating-current power transmission applications

Journal Article · · Science, v. 183, no. 4128, pp. 952-954
A Nb Sn superconductor has been fabricated in rods and tapes by the interaction of the tin contained in a copper--tin alloy with niobium which had been in contact with the alloy material. This conductor has lower alternating- current (60 hertz) losses than any presently available commercial products. (auth)
