Influence of twin planes in YBa2Cu3O7 on magnetic flux movement and current flow
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effect of twin planes in YBa2Cu3O7 on the superconducting current flow is investigated. A single crystal containing only two twin planes is studied magneto-optically up to 1 T. It is found that flux enters the crystal very easily along the twin planes, but that it does not leave the sample preferentially along the twin planes. The flux present in the twin planes reduces the flux penetration in adjacent regions of the sample. During flux penetration, the current density across the twin plane is about half of the current density in the rest of the sample. Due to this, the shielding current breaks up into several subloops. From a simulation follows that in a thin sample flux penetration is enhanced at inward pointing irregularities of the edge of the sample. @S0163-1829~97!07805-3#

متن کاملThe Labusch Parameter of a Driven Flux Line Lattice in YBa2Cu3O7 Superconducting Films
We have investigated the influence of a driving force on the elastic coupling (Labusch parameter) of the field-cooled state of the flux line lattice (FLL) in 400 nm thick YBa2Cu3O7 superconducting films. We found that the FLL of a field-cooled state without driving forces is not in an equilibrium state. Results obtained for magnetic fields applied at 0◦ and 30◦ relative to CuO2 planes, show an ...
متن کاملEffects of the Variable Lorentz Force on the Critical Current in Anisotropic Superconducting Thin Films (postprint)
When a current is applied perpendicular to the vortex lattice (VL), Lorentz force may cause the VL to drift and flux-flow dissipation is observed. When the current is parallel to the applied magnetic field in a Force-Free (FF) configuration, a dissipation is also observed but at higher values of applied current. It has been suggested that pinning as well as free surfaces play an important role ...

In the present work, the critical heat flux measurements were performed for the subcooled flow boiling of pure water and magnetic nanofluids (i.e., water + 0.01 and 0.1 vol.% Fe3O4) in a vertical tube. The effect of applying an external magnetic field on the CHF variation was studied experimentally as well. The obtained results indicated that the subcooled flow boiling CHF in the vertical tub...
