<p>An axially extending superconducting wire includes a substantially axially extending superconducting filament which is flattened in cross section. The superconducting filament is twisted along at least a substantial portion of its length into a substantially helical shape, such that the wire behaves substantially anisotropically in relation to the effect of an applied magnetic field on the critical current Ic at any cross-sectional point along the wire's length, and substantially isotropic in relation to the effect of an applied magnetic field on the self-induced critical current Ic along a substantial length of the wire.</p> |
