Superconducting ceramic circuit elements.

摘要

A method of manufacturing an electrical circuit element from high temperature superconducting ceramic materials as hereinbefore defined, comprising the operation of scanning over regions of the surface of a body of superconducting ceramic material a beam of radiation having an energy density sufficient to raise the temperature of irradiated regions of the body of superconducting material to a level sufficient to destroy the superconducting properties of the ceramic material so as to provide regions of the body of ceramic material which no longer are superconducting interspersed with regions which still are superconducting so as to form the said electrical circuit element.
