L. Horng et al., INVESTIGATION OF HYSTERESIS AND TRANSPORT CRITICAL-CURRENT UNDER FIELD CYCLE FOR BI-BASED MULTIFILAMENTARY TAPES, Zhongguo wuli xuekan, 34(2), 1996, pp. 710-714
The transport properties of Hi-based multifilamentary tapes on magneti
c field have been studied. The tapes were fabricated by powder-in-silv
er tubing technique followed by appropriate sintering. The hysteretic
behavior of transport critical current of the tapes with bending strai
n has been investigated. The experimental data are obtained at 77 K un
der field cycling from 0 to 1000 G to 0. The critical current density
under a field does not vary when bending strain is smaller than a crit
ical bending strain, and then decreases gradually with increasing bend
ing strain. The normalized values are unaffected by bending strain up
to 1.31%. The remnant magnetic filed H-m associated with the flux pinn
ing force is obtained by an empirical expression, which is similar to
generalized critical state model. The H-m is almost a constant for all
bending strain. This observation indicates that the intrinsic pinning
properties are not varied with bending strain.
