Influences of Brass Surface Morphology on Leidenfrost Effect during Liquid Nitrogen Cooling

Cooling in liquid nitrogen is a typical service condition of high-temperature superconducting wire, and the variation of boiling stages on the wire protective layers such as the brass layers could be crucial for the quench behavior of superconducting devices. In this study, the influence of brass su...
