Processing of mercury-based superconducting wires and tapes.

We have produced silver-sheathed HgBa2CuO4+δ (Hg-1201) superconducting tapes exhibiting a transition temperature of 96 K. Progress in the synthesis of these tapes was achieved by heat treating off-stoichiometric mixtures of oxides in the silver sheath, air-quenching the samples and the novel use of...
