Layered superconductor device

摘要

A layered superconductor device includes multiple layers of a single crystal superconducting material having intermittent layers of superconducting material dispersed in a pattern with a second material such that each layer of the multiple layers a single crystal superconducting material are interconnected via superconducting material, allowing for a continuous current path, and a thickness of the superconducting material never exceeds a first predetermined thickness.

1. A superconductor device comprising:
a first single crystal superconductor material layer; a second layer having an intermittent patterned layer of single crystal superconductor material dispersed with a second material; a third layer having a complementary intermittent patterned layer of single crystal superconductor material dispersed with the second material where the complementary patterned layer is offset relative to the second patterned layer; the first, second and third layers arranged in multiple layers having multiple layer edges where multiple ones of the first layers are alternately dispersed between the second layers and the third layers to form a layered superconductor device having respective pairs of the second layers and the third layers dispersed apart from one another and where the respective distance between each pair of the second layers and each pair of the third layers never exceeds a first predetermined thickness in which the superconducting material loses crystal orientation so as to always maintain single crystal orientation throughout the device and where each layer of the single crystal superconducting material is interconnected via superconducting material to allow a continuous current path through all of the multiple layers.
