Abstract
Diffusion of a magnetic field into a conductor featuring a metal-insulator phase transition caused by Joule heating is theoretically studied. Developm ent of a thermomagnetic instability at the metal-insulator interphase bound ary moving in a fast wave regime is described in the linear stage depending on the wavenumber. Effect of the interphase boundary instability on the op eration of a fast-speed electric current breaker based on a (V1-xCrx)(2)O-3 solid solution is assessed. (C) 2000 MAIK "Nauka/Interperiodica".
