Abstract
In this paper, the effective skin depth which provides a useful evaluation for field penetration in multilayer coated conductor is proposed. The reflection on the interface between the adjacent conductors is considered in theoretical derivation. It is found that the effective skin depths of the gold and gold-nickel coated copper rapidly vary with the thickness of the outer layer (gold) when the gold thickness is less than twice gold skin depths and achieve stabilization as the gold thickness increases to five times gold skin depths.
