| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to achieve a breakthrough in the performance of Nb3Sn superconductors, we aimed to discover a "unique" Nb3Sn diffusion reaction phenomenon using an intermediate Cu-X active layer, which will lead to the creation of new functions. Zn, Ge, and Mg were examined as the X element. It was clarified that the effect of suppressing grain coarsening was observed in all of Zn, Ge, and Mg additions, and that the effect of grain refinement was further enhanced by the simultaneous addition of Zn and Mg. It was also found that the addition of Zn specifically formed a β-CuZn layer at the diffusion reaction interface, which contributes to significantly suppress voids. Studies on the location of Ti addition revealed that when Ti was added to the matrix, the Ti-Sn compound was refined and the diffusion of Sn in the Cu matrix was promoted.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
Nb3Sn超伝導体の組織制御に、新たな”自由度”を与える研究である。性能向上により、NMRや核融合炉、粒子加速器の高度化に貢献する。特に性能向上による強磁場NMR装置のコンパクト化は、市場への貢献が大きい。またNb3Snは臨界温度が18Kとヘリウム温度より10K以上高いので、今後需要の拡大が見込まれる医療用HeフリーMRIなどへの普及も期待される。
