Connecting method for superconducting component

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To firmly connect superconductors without impairing the excellent characteristic by connecting two circuit components made of the same or different superconducting materials via a connector made of a superconducting material. CONSTITUTION:Connection sections of superconducting wires 1 and 2 made of the same or different ceramic superconducting materials are butted, and this portion is coated with the paste of a superconducting material. The whole is then baked at 700-1100 deg.C in the oxidizing atmosphere to form a superconducting connector 3. The electrical connection of the superconducting wires 1 and 2 is thereby performed. A Y-Ba-Cu-O series superconducting material, e.g., YBa2Cu3Ox, is used as the conductor 3 for the superconducting wires 1 and 2, where Y is an element selected among Sc, Y and lanthanoides, and Ba is an element selected among alkaline earth elements and Mg.
