Method of improving the superconductivity of niobium--tin layers precipitated on a carrier

Patent ·
OSTI ID:7320086
Described is a method of improving the superconductive properties of layers of the intermetallic compound niobium--tin (Nb/sub 3/Sn) which are precipitated on a heated carrier by hydrogen reduction of halides of the elements niobium and tin. The method is characterized in that the coated carrier is subjected to a heat processing, under protective gas, which lowers the hydrogen content of the niobium--tin layer.
