Abstract:
There is disclosed a toroidal field coil for use in a spherical tokamak. The toroidal field coil comprises a central column and a plurality of return limbs. The central column comprises a plurality of exfoliated HTS tapes, and the return limbs comprise a plurality of substrated HTS tapes. Each exfoliated HTS tape comprises a ReBCO layer bonded to respective metal interface layers on each side of the ReBCO layer, each metal interface layer being bonded to a metal stabiliser layer. Each substrated HTS tape comprises a ReBCO layer bonded on one side to a metal interface layer and on the other side to an oxide buffer stack, the metal interface layer being bonded to a metal stabiliser layer and the oxide buffer stack being bonded to a substrate.
