Description:

(abstract)

Enhancing the characteristics of Nb3Sn superconducting wire is essential for the development of magnets for fusion reactors like ITER and DEMO. In this study, specific diffusion couples of Nb/Cu/Sn were fabricated with different combinations of Ti and Zn doping to Cu and Sn and their diffusion reaction behaviors in Nb3Sn layer formation were investigated. Besides, anticipating a potential grain refinement effect, an Mg and Zn co-doped sample was additionally fabricated.
