Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

Superconducting Nb3Sn and high-purity niobium layers have been deposited onto a protective copper layer grown on a spherical beryllium substrate from molten salts, and their structure and superconducting properties have been studied. The results demonstrate that such coatings are suitable for use as working layers of the rotor of a cryogenic gyroscope.
