Abstract :
The demand for superconductors that have improved properties at high applied magnetic fields has led to developments in the design and processing of Nb/sub 3/Sn superconducting wire. Oxford Superconducting Technology has been producing Nb/sub 3/Sn products for a number of years and continues to develop Nb/sub 3/Sn wire that will meet the aggressive demands of today´s technology. This paper will discuss some recent progress Oxford Superconducting Technology (OST) has made regarding the development of Nb/sub 3/Sn wire for 750 MHz NMR applications. Also discussed will be OST´s progress in development of internal Sn conductors for very high field magnets that generate 20 tesla or more.<>
