Influence of the iron sheath on the local supercurrent distribution in MgB2 wires

چکیده
The magnetic behavior of iron sheathed magnesium diboride (MgB2) wires was investigated. Global magnetization measurements have shown unusual critical current density variations compare to a superconductor with no magnetic environment. Local quantitative studies, through MO images, are linked to these global magnetization measurements in order to better understand the observed results. It is shown that the current distribution is affected by the soft magnetic sheath interacting with the superconducting core.

پیشرفتهای اخیر در زمینه ساخت سیم و نوار ابررسانای MgB2
MgB2 wire and tape were prepared using the powder in tube and reaction in-situ technique. All samples were characterized using the XRD, SEM, TEM, as well as transport and magnetic measurements. High transport and magnetic critical current density values have been obtained for metal-clad wires and tapes. Different sheath materials have been examined, but Fe appears to be the best sheath for MgB...
متن کاملEffect of ball milling on the local magnetic flux distribution and microstructure of in situ Fe/MgB2 conductors
The effects of the precursor milling energy on the superconducting and microstructural homogeneity of Fe-sheathed MgB2 monocore wires and tapes have been investigated. The conductors were produced by the powder-in-tube method using drawing and rolling deformation methods and in situ reaction. Combined magnetooptical, structural and magnetization measurements were performed on MgB2 superconducti...
متن کاملAnisotropy of the critical current in MgB2 tapes made of high energy milled precursor powder
For applications of MgB2 wires or tapes, high critical currents in high magnetic fields are essential. By using tapes in superconducting coils the anisotropic behaviour of the critical current, i.e. the dependence on the direction of the external field in relation to the tape surface, has to be taken into account. The anisotropy of MgB2 tapes with mechanically alloyed (MA) precursor powder and ...
متن کاملNew Method for the Fabrication of Al-Stabilized Fe/MgB2 Wires
To employ Al stabilizer on Fe sheathed MgB2 wire the hot aluminizing technique was used. The present technique allows us to form MgB2 superconductor by an in-situ reaction technique and apply Al stabilizer simultaneously, because the processing temperature of MgB2 is similar to the melting temperature of Al. Two types of Fe sheathed MgB2 wires—“reacted” and “green” (unreacted)—were immersed in ...
متن کاملThe relevance of the self-field for the 'peak effect' in the transport Jc(H) of iron-sheathed MgB2 wires
A ferromagnetic sheath around a superconducting wire results in an unusual transport Jc(H). For the field perpendicular to the current, there is a plateau in Jc(H) at high temperatures and intermediate fields. This plateau develops into a peak at lower temperatures—resembling a ‘peak effect’. A model based on cancellation of the self-field of the current and the external field within the iron s...
