LASL Nb/sub 3/Ge conductor development. Eleventh quarterly progress report, January 1--March 31, 1979
- comp.
The eleventh quarterly progress report of the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory program to develop Nb/sub 3/Ge as a superconductor with potential applications to superconducting power transmission lines covers the period January 1--March 31, 1979. This is the first report of Phase III, which has as its goal the fabrication and testing of a 1.0-m length of coaxial cable using Nb/sub 3/Ge conductors. The technical program plan for meeting this goal is outlined. Modifications and repairs on the long sample CVD apparatus were completed and are described. Several tape sections coated in the apparatus were tested and used to define optimum process variables for producing Nb/sub 3/Ge with the best superconducting properties. Bend tests also were started to determine a minimum bending diameter for the tapes.
