  • Critical current distributions and the V(1) transition in Nb-Ti superconducting composites

    Creator:
    Narang, Girish
    Abstract:
    It is well established that the extended range V(I) transition behavior in filamentary superconducting composites depends strongly on the processing conditions of the composite. Based on previous work, a model proposed by Warnes et al predicts that the second derivative of the V(I) transition is related to a more fundamental...

  • Evaluation of copper to superconductor area ratio measurement techniques for niobium-titanium composite superconducting wire

    Creator:
    Pyon, Taeyoung
    Abstract:
    Measurement of the copper to superconductor ratio (Cu/SC) in composite superconducting wires is necessary for process control, quality assurance, and characterization of the final wire properties. A comparison has been made of three techniques for measuring the Cu/SC ratio on a set of commercial wires produced for the Superconducting SuperCollider...

  • Mechanics of Nb-Ti superconducting composites

    Creator:
    Guo, Zhiqiang
    Abstract:
    Mechanical behavior of Nb-Ti superconducting composites with copper matrices have been studied experimentally and theoretically. Experimental work includes extensive measurements of Cu/Nb-Ti composite system. Techniques for fine fiber testing and composite wire measurement have been developed. Experimental parameters examined in this research include geometry, hardness, Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, yield...
