Abstract
A composite superconductor which comprises (1) a first layer of an alloy ected from the group consisting of a vanadium-gallium (V--Ga) alloy with a gallium content from 12.5 at. % to 17.5 at. %, a niobium-tin alloy (Nb-Sn) with a tin content from 12 at. % to 17.5 at. %, and a vanadium-silicon (V--Si) alloy with a silicon content from 10.0 at. % to 20.0 at. %; (2) an intermediate layer of an A-15 compound selected from the group consisting of V.sub.3 Ga, Nb.sub.3 Sn, and V.sub.3 Si; (3) a third layer of an alloy selected from the group consisting of copper-gallium (Cu--Ga) alloy with a gallium content greater than 22 at. % but not greater than 30.0 at. %, a copper-tin (Cu-Sn) alloy with a tin content greater than 11 at. % but not greater than 21.0 at. %, and a copper-silicon (Cu--Si) alloy with a silicon content greater than 14 at. % but not greater than 21 at. %.
