Normal domains in large multifilamentary composite superconductor?

چکیده
We study the dynamics of normal domains in a multifilamentary composite superconductor with a large amount of stabilizer outside the multifilamentary area. We consider the case when there is a transition layer with high thermal and electrical resistance between the superconductor and the stabilizer. We show the existence of localized and propagating normal domains in these composites. We derive an implicit expression for the propagation velocity of a normal domain.

Flux jumps and training in superconducting composites
The critical state stability in a composite superconductor under an external stress, causing plastic strain yield, is considered. The obtained criterion of the stability against thermomagnetic-mechanical perturbations allows the explanation of the training phenomenon as a process of consequent strain hardening of the superconductor. The training of superconducting materials is a well known phen...
متن کاملNon-uniform distribution of normal zone in composite superconductors with contact resistance
A region of resistive domains is found in composite superconductors with thermal and electrical contact resistance between the normal metal matrix and the superconductor. The V-I characteristic of 3 sample with resistive domains is found. It is shown that the existence of resistive domains leads to the emergence of hysteresis upon decay and recovery of superconductivity in the presence of trans...
متن کاملMagnetic flux penetration and AC loss in a composite superconducting wire with ferromagnetic parts
The current distribution and the AC loss in a composite superconducting tape containing a layer from magnetic material is calculated and compared with experiments, showing a very good agreement. The situations of an alternating uniform applied field or a transport current are studied. The newly developed numerical model is an approximation to the critical state model, adapted for the applicabil...
متن کاملNormal domains in Rutherford-type superconducting cables
We study the formation and dynamics of normal domains in Rutherford-type superconducting cables. We use an effective circuit model to account for the electric current redistribution process between the multifilamentary strands in the presence of a normal zone. We obtain and integrate numerically the diffusion equations for the temperature and the current-density distributions in the cable. Our ...
متن کاملAssessing composition gradients in multifilamentary superconductors by means of magnetometry methods
We present two magnetometry-based methods suitable for assessing gradients in the critical temperature and hence the composition of multifilamentary superconductors: AC magnetometry and Scanning Hall Probe Microscopy. The novelty of the former technique lies in the iterative evaluation procedure we developed, whereas the strength of the latter is the direct visualization of the temperature depe...
