Superconducting element with elongated opening and method for manufacturing the same

摘要

A superconducting element (SE1-SE5) with a central section (20) located between two end sections (21a,21b) of the superconducting element (SE1-SE5), the superconducting element (SE1-SE5) comprising a substrate tape (10), a buffer layer (11), a high temperature superconducting (HTS) layer (12), a first protection layer (14), and a shunt layer (17) is characterized in that the superconducting element (SE1-SE5) further comprises at least one elongated opening (19) in the central section (20) elongated between the two end sections (21a,21b), whereby the at least one elongated opening (19) divides the central section (20) of the superconducting element (SE1-SE5) into at least two HTS strips (18a,18b,18c), whereby the shunt layer (17) envelops the surface of each of the HTS strips (18a,18b,18c). The inventive superconducting element shows improved electrical stabilization and time stability.
