Field dependence of critical current density in flat superconductor

Magnetic Field Dependence of the Transport Critical Current Density in the Superconductor Family ReBa2Cu3O7-x

The magnetic field dependence of the transport critical current density has been investigated at temperatures of 78K and 68K in bulk polycrystalline samples of the hightemperature superconductor ReBa2Cu3O7-x, where Re (rare earth) = Y (yttrium), Er (erbium), Yb (ytterbium), Ho (holmium), and Dy (dysprosium). Samples were sintered in 1⁄4 inch pellet form after the conventional ceramic processing...

Distinct doping dependence of critical temperature and critical current density in Ba1−xKxFe2As2 superconductor

Since the high transition temperature (High-Tc) superconductivity was discovered in the series of materials containing iron (Fe), their potential for the applications has been extensively scrutinized. In particular, a lot of effort has been made in achieving the high current-carrying ability by revealing the vortex pinning behavior. Here, we report on the critical current density (Jc) for the p...

Field mapping measurements to determine spatial and field dependence of critical current density in YBCO tapes

In this paper a measurement method that allows the determination of the critical current density of superconducting tape from field mapping measurements is presented. This contact-free method allows obtaining characteristics of the superconductor as a function of the position and of the applied flux density. With some modifications, this technique can be used for reel-to-reel measurements. The ...
