Abstract

The invention relates to a process for applying a resistive layer on an oxide superconducting element for electrically decoupling superconducting filaments contained in the element, an oxide superconducting element having a resistive layer and use thereof, in particular in ac applications, the resistive layer being formed by chemically converting the surface of a conducting metal coating sheating the superconducting core of said filaments into a salt of a metal constituting said conducting coating.
