Abstract

Disclosed is a superconductor wire material that configures a conductive layer in a banded state. The superconductor wire material includes a substrate made of metal; at least one buffer layer laminated on the substrate; and a superconductive layer laminated on the buffer layer, wherein, when the superconductor wire material is banded, a banding diameter (D) of the superconductor wire material and a thickness (t) of the substrate have the following relation: {t(D+t)}<0.004. Thus, when the superconductor wire material is banded, it is possible to inhibit a crack from being generated between the buffer layer and the superconductive layer of the superconductor wire material.
