Superconducting Materials

About superconducting materials

Superconducting Niobium

The superconducting radio frequency (RF) resonators used in oscillating electron lasers are manufactured from high‐purity niobium with a high residual resistivity ratio (RRR). The material is available in the form of ingots, rods, plates and tubes.

Superconducting Niobium-Titanium Alloys

Niobium-titanium alloys are used as a type II superconductor for superconducting magnets. Applications for these magnets include magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) scanners and particle accelerators.

The alloys are commonly available with 47%, 50% and 55% titanium content.

The primary advantages of our superconducting materials:

Near-zero resistance: Superconducting materials conduct electricity without resistance when cooled to cryogenic temperatures. This property leads to efficient energy transfer and magnetic field generation.

Magnetic field generation: Superconducting niobium and niobium-titanium alloys generate strong magnetic fields. They are used in MRI, fusion research and particle physics experiments.

Compact and high-field magnets: The superconducting properties enable the manufacture of compact high-field magnets that generate stronger magnetic fields compared to conventional materials. This results in more efficient and cost-effective constructions.

Precision and sensitivity: Superconducting materials respond sensitively to changes in magnetic fields. They are suitable for sensors in scientific research, medical diagnostics and other sectors.

Current research: Researchers worldwide use our superconducting materials to investigate aspects of physics, materials science and engineering.
