Abstract

The present invention provides: a MgB2 superconducting wire that has a barrier layer of highly uniform thickness covering a MgB2 core and that reduces MgB2 filament defects and is suitable for thinning and lengthening; a MgB2 superconducting wire manufacturing method for manufacturing the same; a superconducting coil using the same; and a magnetic generator including the superconducting coil. A MgB2 superconducting wire (200) comprises: a core material (210); a MgB2 filament (220) in which a MgB2 core (221) is covered with a barrier layer (222); and a metal sheath (230). The MgB2 filament (220) has a barrier layer (222) thickness on the outer peripheral side of the wire not more than three times the barrier layer (222) thickness on the core side of the wire. The method for manufacturing the MgB2 superconducting wire includes a step for forming a single core wire, a step for forming an embedded material, a surface reduction processing step, and a heat treatment step. The embedded material is formed by arranging the single core wire in a recess formed in the outer surface of the core material or by incorporating a spacer in a gap.
