Am. Dolgin et al., EFFECT OF PLASTIC-DEFORMATION ON THE TRAN SPORT-PROPERTIES OF BI(2212)-AG COMPOSITES, Fizika nizkih temperatur, 20(4), 1994, pp. 390-395
The effect has been studied of elastic and plastic (to 50 %) deformati
on on the current-carrying capacity of a composite representing a silv
er wire covered with a HTSC film of a bismuth ceramic (2212 phase). It
has been found that this composite provided flowing of superconductin
g current under deformations of up to 30 %. A model is proposed which
describes degradation of the transport current of the composites and p
rovides satisfactory quantitative explanation to the said effect in a
wide range of deformations.
