Niobium–tin
Videos
Niobium–tin is an intermetallic compound of niobium and tin, used industrially as a type-II superconductor. This intermetallic compound has a simple structure: A3B. It is more expensive than niobium–t
Nb3Sn wire from the ITER fusion reactor, which is currently under construction.
Type-II superconductor
