Mn. Cuthbert et al., TRANSPORT AND MAGNETIZATION MEASUREMENTS OF BI2223 AG TAPES AND THE ROLE OF GRANULARITY ON CRITICAL-CURRENT LIMITATION/, IEEE transactions on applied superconductivity, 5(2), 1995, pp. 1391-1394
An understanding of the mechanisms that limit the critical current den
sity in the Bi2223/Ag tapes is crucial to their viability in technolog
ical and commercial applications. Careful analysis of both transport a
nd magnetisation measurements in an applied magnetic field, taken on t
he same samples, allow us to explore the regions of the H-T plane wher
e either inter- or intra-granular properties dominate.
