Nb3Sn Superconductor Loss Study
Abstract
Theoretical and experimental studies of the ac losses in continuous fine filament superconductors and in situ Nb3Sn superconductors are reported. The results indicate that surface currents may play a major role in determining the loss and critical current characteristics of fine filament superconductors. In situ superconductors hold promise for high critical current density, but will exhibit large ac losses unless a means for separating the filaments transverse to the conductor axis is developed.
