Description:

(abstract)

We improved the critical current (Ic) of the superconducting joint between the Bi2223 tapes by introducing the two-step sintering process. The in-field transport Ic of ~ 300 A at 4.2 K and 1 T under a 10−9 Ω criterion was successfully demonstrated. The Ic improvement can probably be attributed to the enhancement of the intergrain critical current density for a Bi2223 intermediate layer. Ultra-low in-field joint resistance below 10−14 Ω at 4.2 K and 1 T was also demonstrated using current decay measurement. To our best knowledge, this study is the first to demonstrate a practical level of in-field transport Ic and ultra-low in-field joint resistance for the superconducting joint between Bi2223 tapes. We believe that this superconducting joint technology will facilitate development of persistent current mode Bi2223 superconducting magnets.
