AbstractA method is proposed for estimating the length scale of currents circulating in superconductors. The estimated circulation radius is used for determining the critical current density on the basis of magnetic measurements. The obtained formulas are applicable to samples with negligibly small demagnetizing factors and to polycrystalline superconductors. The proposed method has been verified using experimental magnetization loops measured for polycrystalline YBa_2Cu_3O_7 – δ and Bi_1.8Pb_0.3Sr_1.9Ca_2Cu_3O_ x superconductors.

A current theme in the study of the critical current density behavior of YBa2Cu3O7-δ (YBCO) grain boundaries is that their electromagnetic properties are heterogeneous on various length scales ranging from 10s of microns to ˜ 1 Å. Recently, combined electromagnetic and TEM studies on four flux-grown bicrystals have demonstrated a direct correlation between the length scale of the boundaries’ saw-tooth facet configurations and the apparent length scale of the electrical heterogeneity. In that work, enhanced critical current densities are observed at applied fields where the facet period is commensurate with the spacing of the Abrikosov flux vortices which must be pinned if higher critical current density values are recorded. To understand the microstructural origin of the flux pinning, the grain boundary topography and grain boundary dislocation (GBD) network structure of [001] tilt YBCO bicrystals were studied by TEM and HRTEM.

We have developed a method that allows, by a simple set of magnetic measurements, to study the texturing of the grains inside a BSCCO-Ag tape. Because the texture is anisotropic we define the angle ϑ L that identifies the mean grain misalignment angle with respect to the tape surface in longitudinal direction (i.e. rolling direction) and the angle ϑ T in transverse direction. The technique is based on the assumption that, because of the very high anisotropy of the critical current density in BSCCO superconducting compounds, the magnetic moment is essentially generated by the current circulating in the a-b planes of the BSCCO grains. The different magnetisation cycles, measured when the orientation of the magnetic field with respect to the tape surface is changed, depend only on the grain orientation inside the tape, which determines the effective magnetic field component normal to the a-b planes of the grains. Here we present the texture evolution of the BSCCO grains inside silver sheated multifilamentary tape starting from the initial steps of the mechanical deformation up to the final heating stage. The results obtained from the magnetic method are compared with those obtained with other methods, i.e. X-ray diffraction and critical current density anisotropy. Also results obtained on samples prepared in different way will be presented.

Different high-Tc superconducting Y-Ba-Cu-O samples of slabs and rings have been investigated. Using differently prepared Y1Ba2Cu3O7-d materials, significant deviations between irradiated and unirradiated specimens have been detected in their properties. These investigations demonstrate that unlikely prepared superconductors are differently sensitive to the external irradiation, although they have the same composition. The irradiation applied during these experiments consisted of high-energy Bi-ions with the flux of 5x1010 ions/cm2 and with the energy of 720 MeV. As is experienced, a considerable variation of the magnetic moment in the extent of 19-44% and a significant increase of the critical current density up to 41% can be detected. These originate from the change of the properties of materials due to the irradiation. For the evaluation of the experiments a new fitting method is elaborated for the temperature dependence of the critical current density, providing fully correct results for the whole temperature interval. The A.C. magnetic measurements show, that the irradiation causes to reach the state of the perfect diamagnetism at higher temperatures, than in the case of unirradiated samples. Similarly, the irradiated specimens have much lower losses, than the unirradiated ones and even these smaller values disappear at low temperatures.
