Research progress on hybrid superconductor and its applications
It has been more than 100 years since the discovery of superconductivity,and the research progress of supercon-ductivity has attracted much attention for the zero resistance and high current carrying of superconducting materials.Because the properties of superconducting materials are greatly affected by the temperature and magnetic field,it is difficult to apply them on a large scale.Hybridizing different superconducting materials together or hybridizing superconducting materials with metal materi-als can combine the advantages of various conductors.Various research results show that the thermal stability,AC loss and me-chanical properties of the hybrid superconductor can be improved.Based on the existing research of hybrid superconductors in the world,in this paper it was summarized for the research progress of hybrid superconductors and their applications in coils,magnets and cables.The future development direction of hybrid superconductors was looked forward.
