T. Nakamura et al., Anisotropy of critical current and glass-liquid transition flux density inBi-2223/Ag tape, SUPERCOND S, 13(11), 2000, pp. 1521-1525
We present the anisotropy of current transport characteristics in Bi-2223/A
g multifilamentary tapes as a function of temperature and external magnetic
field. Angular dependence of the critical current and the glass-liquid tra
nsition magnetic flux density are well described by the model, taking into
account the misorientation of grains with constant effective anisotropy fac
tor, gamma. Furthermore, gamma increases apparently as temperature and/or c
ritical current increases due to the weak-link properties.
