Oxide superconducting wire and superconducting apparatus thereof

摘要

A superconducting wire comprising a conductor core composed of an oxide superconducting material and a sheath material composed of conductive metal formed at periphery of the conductor core, characterized in that the sheath material is a composite metal including dispersed non-superconductive metallic oxide therein. In accordance with the present invention, oxide superconducting wire having a large mechanical strength, and controllable electric conductivity and thermal conductivity at an arbitrary range corresponding to its using object can be provided.
