USE OF SUPERCONDUCTOR COMPONENTS IN THIN LAYERS AS VARIABLE INDUCTANCE AND DEVICES INCLUDING SAID COMPONENTS AND CORRESPONDING CONTROL METHOD

摘要

The invention relates to a use of a superconductor component in thin layers as a variable inductance. The invention further relates to devices permitting such a use and a method for control of the inductance of such a component. The superconducting inductive component comprises a stack of thin layers of, alternately, electrical insulating material and superconducting material. The inductance thereof varies as a function of the current passing through the same, as part of an alternating current, or by injection of a direct current, superimposed on an alternating current.
