The present invention relates to a high temperature-superconducting wire having a superconducting layer laminated thereon and a method of manufacturing the same. The method includes: preparing a pair of superconducting wires each of which includes a metal substrate, a buffer layer, a superconducting layer, and a protective layer; laminating the pair of superconducting wires to allow respective protective layers to face each other; performing thermal treatment to the laminated superconducting wires to join the protective layers together; separating the metal substrate and the buffer layer from the superconducting layer on one side; and forming a protective layer on an upper part of the superconducting layer having a surface exposed. The present invention provides a high temperature-superconducting wire which includes a plurality of biaxially textured superconducting layers laminated thereby improving electro-conductivity, wherein the plurality of superconducting layers are separated from each other thereby reducing a loss of alternating current.

A superconducting electromagnet and method for manufacturing, using, monitoring, and controlling same are disclosed. Embodiments are directed to a superconducting electromagnet that includes a superconductor tape including: a first unslotted end; a second unslotted end; and a longitudinally slotted section provided between the first unslotted end and the second unslotted end. The longitudinally slotted section includes a first longitudinal part and a second longitudinal part. The first longitudinal part is provided in a wound manner thereby defining a first coil. The second longitudinal part is provided in a wound manner thereby defining a second coil. These and other embodiments achieve persistent current operation of the superconducting electromagnet without the need for solder joints within the magnet coil itself, which can result in improved stability and reduced power consumption.

Described herein are concepts, system and techniques which provide a means to construct robust high-field superconducting magnets using simple fabrication techniques and modular components that scale well toward commercialization. The resulting magnet assembly—which utilizes non-insulated, high temperature superconducting tapes (HTS) and provides for optimized coolant pathways—is inherently strong structurally, which enables maximum utilization of the high magnetic fields available with HTS technology. In addition, the concepts described herein provide for control of quench-induced current distributions within the tape stack and surrounding superstructure to safely dissipate quench energy, while at the same time obtaining acceptable magnet charge time. The net result is a structurally and thermally robust, high-field magnet assembly that is passively protected against quench fault conditions.

A method of manufacturing a High Temperature Superconductor, HTS, field coil from one or more HTS tapes. Each HTS tape comprises an HTS material layer. The method comprises: winding the one or more HTS tapes about an axis to form a field coil comprising windings of HTS tape; and removing material from an axial edge of the one or more of the HTS tapes around at least a part of one or more of the windings to reduce the extent of the one or more HTS tapes along the axis of the field coil.
