A process for depositing a silver coating (18) onto a superconductor (15) involves placing the superconductor (15) into an alcohol solution (30), preferably octanol, which contains silver particles (32). Each silver particle is coated with a layer (38) of oleic acid. An electrode (40), preferably made of silver, is also disposed in the anhydrous solution (30). A direct current voltage is then established on the electrode (40), which causes the silver particles (32) to plate onto the superconductor (15). After electrophoresis, the now-plated superconductor is heated to 900 DEG C for approximately 1 minute. <IMAGE> |
