The advent of low temperature superconductors in the early 1960's
converted what had been a laboratory curiosity with very limited
possibilities to a prac tical means of fabricating electrical
components and devices with lossless con ductors. Using liquid
helium as a coolant, the successful construction and operation of
high field strength magnet systems, alternators, motors and trans
mission lines was announced. These developments ushered in the era
of what may be termed cryogenic power engineering and a decade
later successful oper ating systems could be found such as the 5 T
saddle magnet designed and built in the United States by the
Argonne National Laboratory and installed on an experimental power
generating facility at the High Temperature Institute in Moscow,
Russia. The field of digital computers provided an incentive of a
quite different kind to operate at cryogenic temperatures. In this
case, the objective was to ob tain higher switching speeds than are
possible at ambient temperatures with the critical issue being the
operating characteristics of semiconductor switches under cryogenic
conditions. By 1980, cryogenic electronics was established as
another branch of electric engineering."
