Superconducting current stability in composite superconductors

چکیده
studied. The experimentally obtained values of transport current exceed the normal phase minimum propagation current substantially. The current-voltage characteristics of the investigated samples have been studied. I t is shown that the relatively high value of the maximum transport current is attributed, under the given experimental conditions, to the behaviour of the current-voltage characteristic in the region o f low values of the electric field. The theory and experiment are in good agreement.

Quench energies of composite superconductors
The minimum energy of a local heat pulse Qo, initiating normal zone propagation is an important characteristic of the stability of a superconducting composite. There are many papers concerning, both experimentally and theoretically (usually numerically), the value of Qc for composite superconductors (see, e.g., References 1-3 and references therein). In particular, simple analytical formulae fo...
متن کاملFlux 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 کاملPropagation of the normal zone in composite superconductors with high contact resistance
The propagation of the normal zone in composite superconductors with high thermal resistance and high electrical contact resistance between the superconducting and the normal components of the conductor is analysed. It is shown that in certain conditions propagation can result from successive multiple splittings of the resistive domain generated. The minimum initiation current of this process h...
متن کاملEquilibrium and Stability of Normal and Superconducting Current Loops
The conditions for equilibrium and stability of a normal or a superconducting current loop in the magnetic field of other fixed loops are derived from the energy principle, both with and without a gravitational field. While loops with finite resistance cannot be levitated, stable equilibrium arrangements of superconductors can be found. In this connection a sufficient criterion for the indefini...
متن کاملPlastic strain and flux jumps in hard and composite superconductors
A study is made into the effect of the critical current density dependence upon the value of plastic strain on the critical state stability in hard and composite superconductors under conditions of plastic yield of the material. There have been found criteria of the critical state stability relative to the jointly developing magnetic flux jumps and plastic strain jerks.
