高温超导电机电枢线圈临界电流密度研究

高温超导线材的临界电流密度受磁场的影响,在设计计算时,通常假设在线圈截面上电流密度是均匀分布的。但是,实际上在线圈截面上,电压是一致的。由于线圈中的磁场不均匀分布,各处的临界电流密度是不同的。采用数值模拟的方法,分析了高温超导线圈截面上的临界电流分布。结果显示,临界电流密度的分布是不均匀的,总的临界电流可比按均匀分布时的计算结果提高25%以上。

It is shown that the critical current may be presented as power function of cross section area, the critical current density is homogeneous function of coordinates and a number of properties of the critical current density are reported.     

A new model analysis of the third harmonic voltage in inductive measurement for critical current density of superconducting films

The critical current density J c is one of the most important parameters of high temperature superconducting films in superconducting applications,such as superconducting filter and superconducting Josephson devices.This paper presents a new model to describe inhomogeneous current distribution throughout the thickness of superconducting films applying magnetic field by solving the differential equation derived from Maxwell equation and the second London equation.Using this model,it accurately calculates the inductive third-harmonic voltage when the film applying magnetic field with the inductive measurement for J c.The theoretic curve is consistent with the experimental results about measuring superconducting film,especially when the third-harmonic voltage just exceeds zero.The J c value of superconducting films determined by the inductive method is also compared with results measured by four-probe transport method.The agreements between inductive method and transport method are very good.     

Effects of surface damage on critical current density in MgB2 thin films

We investigated the influence of surface damage on the critical current density (J_c) of MgB₂ thin films via 140-keV Co-ion irradiation. The J_c(H) of the surface-damaged MgB₂ films was remarkably improved in comparison with that of pristine films. The strong enhancement of J_c(H) caused by a surface damage in MgB₂ films can be ascribed to additional point defects along with an atomic lattice displacement introduced through low-energy Co-ion irradiation, which is consistent with the change in the pinning mechanism, from weak collective pinning to strong plastic pinning. The irreversible magnetic field (H_irr) at 5 K for surface-damaged MgB₂ films with a thickness of 850 and 1300 nm was increased by a factor of approximately 2 compared with that of a pristine film. These results show that the surface damage produced by low energy ion irradiation can serve as an effective pinning source to improve J_c(H) in a MgB₂ superconductor.     

Crystal orientation dependence of the critical current density in a-axis- and c-axis-oriented MgB2 films

We have investigated the critical current density for MgB₂ films having various crystal orientations prepared by using a hybrid physical-chemical vapor deposition system. An enhancement of the critical current density is clearly presented in MgB₂ films with an a-axis or a b-axis orientation rather than a c-axis orientation. X-ray diffraction patterns reveal a suppression of c-axis orientations while a (100) orientation becomes dominant, and the surface morphology of the a-axis-oriented film shows that the orientation of the c-axis-oriented MgB₂ grains parallel to the plane of the substrate. As the a-axis orientation becomes more dominant in the MgB₂ films, the field performance of the critical current density clearly becomes better. These results suggest that the synthesis of MgB₂ with high ab-plane orientations is one of the keys to enhancing the critical current density in MgB₂.     

Angular dependences of critical current density in YBCO thin films with crossed columnar defects

We investigated the dependences of the critical current density J_c on the magnetic field angle θ in YBa₂Cu₃O_7−δ thin films with the crossed configurations of the columnar defects (CDs). To install the crossed CDs, the films were irradiated using the high energetic Xe ions at two angles relative to the c-axis. The additional peak around the c-axis appears in the J_c(θ) for all irradiated films. In lower magnetic fields, the height of the J_c(θ) peak caused by the crossed CDs with the crossing angles θ_i = ±10° was higher than that for the parallel CDs. It is considered that the correlation of the flux pinning by the crossed CDs along the c-axis occurs even in the case of θ_i = ±25°, which was also suggested by the kink behaviors of the scaling parameters of the current–voltage characteristics near 1/3 of the matching field. In higher magnetic fields, on the other hand, the height and width of the J_c(θ) peak for the crossed CD configurations rapidly reduce with increasing the magnetic field compared to the parallel ones. In the crossed CD configurations, the dispersion in the direction of CDs would prevent the correlation of flux pinning along the c-axis in high magnetic fields, which occurs in the parallel CD configurations due to the collective pinning of flux lines including the interstitial flux lines between the directly pinned flux lines by CDs.     

Critical current measurement on Y-Ba-Cu-O

We report critical current measurements on sintered Y_0.35Ba_0.65CuO_y. The sample, in the perovskite phase, shows zero resistance at 87 K. The critical current transition is seen, in zero field and at 77 K, at a current densityJ _c of 50 A/cm².     

Angular dependence of the critical current density and the temperature scaling of the flux pinning force in YBCO thin film

In this paper, the critical current J_c(Θ) have been investigated as a function of magnetic-field angle Θ. Θ is the angle between the c-axis and the applied magnetic field direction. This investigation concerned three temperature values (60?K, 78?K and 81?K). The normalized pinning force f_p versus the normalized magnetic field h was also studied (f_p?=?F_p / F_pmax and h?=?H / H_max). The F_p expression was determined based on the Kramer model.The studied sample was a single crystal of YBaCuO thin film deposited by the ablation laser method on the surface (100) of a SrTiO₃ substrate.The results of this work show the existence of point core pinning of the normal centers in the low field regime and the occurrence of the flux creep in high field regime.     

Enhancement of the critical current density in YBCO/Ag composites

YBa₂Cu₃O_7 + xAg?(x = 0.0, ?5.0, ?15.0 and 20 wt%) composite samples have been prepared by the solid state reaction method. The changes in structure are confirmed from the X-ray diffraction analysis and SEM measurements. The critical current density is calculated using Bean's formula from the magnetization measurement. We find that the addition of silver in YBCO enhances the critical current density (?J_C) by a factor of nearly six (for 15% Ag) in comparison to pure YBCO. Enhancement of the pinning force (F_P) by a factor of ten is also reported. The enhancement in ?J_C is investigated over a wide range of magnetic fields. These significant changes in ?J_C and F_P are attributed to the presence of Ag particles as efficient artifical pinning centers in YBCO.     

Magnetic field dependence of critical current density in YBa2Cu3O7

We have measured the transport critical current densityJ _cof sintered YBa₂Cu₃O₇, in various applied fields up to 185 Oe at 77 K. We find a sharp decay ofJ _cwith magnetic field. We show that this sharp decay is consistent with the low field hysteresis results of Groveret al. We argue that the observed field dependence is not caused by intragranular weak links.
