1. A method of fabricating a superconducting device, the method comprising:
determining a target transition temperature;
utilizing a predefined quantitative relationship between superconducting transition temperature and an order parameter (S) for at least one superconductor material composition to select a superconductor material composition that is capable of providing the target transition temperature, wherein the quantitative relationship can be expressed as a linear relationship between superconducting transition temperature and order parameter square (S2); and
controlling process parameters to form a superconductor device comprising at least one superconductor material having the selected superconductor material composition and the target transition temperature.
