Rectangular normal domains in current-carrying superconductors
نویسندگان
چکیده
We find a type of normal domain in composite superconductors—a traveling rectangular domain. Using the effective circuit model we study in detail the dynamics of this domain. We derive an analytical solution for the propagation velocity and the length of a traveling rectangular domain. Current–voltage characteristics are calculated for a superconductor with a rectangular domain. © 1998 American Institute of Physics. @S0021-8979~98!03811-0#

Non-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 کاملInitiation of traveling normal domains in large composite superconductors
We consider the initiating energy for traveling normal domains in large composite superconductors. We perform numerical simulations of normal zone initiation using the effective circuit model. The initiating energy is obtained as a function of transport current and four dimensionless parameters characterizing the composite and cooling conditions. We suggest an analytical expression determining ...
متن کاملPropagating normal domains in large composite superconductors
We study the nucleation and propagation of the normal zone in large composite superconductors, considering the relatively long time of current redistribution in the stabilizer. We propose a model treating the composite as an effective electrical circuit, which yields two diffusion equations for the electric current and temperature distributions along the conductor. Numerical simulations are per...
متن کاملMeissner-London currents in superconductors with rectangular cross section.
Exact analytic solutions are presented for the magnetic moment and screening currents in the Meissner state of superconductor strips with rectangular cross section in a perpendicular magnetic field and/or with transport current. The extension to finite London penetration is achieved by an elegant numerical method which works also for disks. The surface current in the specimen corners diverges a...
متن کاملNormal zone propagation in Rutherford-type superconducting cables
We study the formation and propagation of a normal zone in Rutherford-type superconducting cables. We use a rectangular conductor 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. Our simulati...
