T. Nakamura et al., Angular dependence of current transport characteristics in a mixed state of Bi-2223/Ag multifilamentary tape, IEEE APPL S, 10(1), 2000, pp. 1166-1169
We have investigated current transport characteristics in a mixed state of
Bi-2223/Ag multifilamentary tape by varying the angle between the external
magnetic field and the tape surface. It was shown that the so-called glass-
liquid transition magnetic field, which is an important parameter for appli
cations of persistent current mode, as well as the critical currents, was d
ominated by the c-axis component (perpendicular to the tape surface) of the
external magnetic field in a wide range of the field direction.
