Abstract
A method of forming magnets using stacked superconducting films-disks of coated conductor is described. The superconducting material may be either from the oxide high temperature superconducting (HTS) class or the metallic/inter-metallic low temperature superconducting (LTS) class. An LTS metallic or inter-metallic compound can include Nb, Va, Ti, Hg, Pb, NbTi, Nb3Sn, Nb3Al, etc. or the more recently discover MgB2. An oxide superconductor refers to the RE-Ba2Cu3Ox compound, wherein RE=Y, Nd, La, Sm, Eu, Gd, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu; the Bi2Sr2CaCu2Ox, the (Bi, Pb)2Sr2CaCu2Ox, Bi2Sr2Ca2Cu3Ox or (Bi, Pb)2Sr2Ca2Cu3Ox compound; the Tl2Ca1.5BaCu2Ox or Tl2Ca2Ba2Cu3Ox compound; or a compound involving substitution such as the Nd1+xBa2−xCu3Ox compounds.
