Abstract

The study of an approach for electrical self-stabilization of high-temperature superconducting wires for power applications was presented. A conductive buffer layer structure composed of bilayer La 0.7Sr 0.3MnO 3/Ir was developed on a textured Ni-W alloy metal tape to functionally shunt the high temperature superconductors (HTS) layer to the underlaying substrate. The electrical and microstructural property characterizations of YBa 2Cu 3O 7-δ films on short prototype conductors were also demonstrated. The current versus voltage (I-V) characteristics of YBCO/LSMO/Ir/Ni-W were measured to evaluate the stability provided by the conductive buffer interface.
