Description

A fully stabilized multifilamentary NbN superconductor was prepared using a combination of physical vapor deposition of NbN on graphite fibers followed by liquid metal infiltration using copper or aluminum. The resulting conductor assumed a finely divided multifilamentary form embedded in a matrix of conductive copper or aluminum. The geometry provided high stability to flux jumps and high quench protection. The effects of liquid metal infiltration and process variables on the electrical properties were determined. Critical current dependence on field strength and stabilizer residual resistivity ratio are discussed
