F. Takeuchi et al., Field dependence of J(c) for melt textured filamentary (Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd)-Ba-Cu-O superconductors, PHYSICA C, 341, 2000, pp. 1447-1448
We have synthesized the filamentary LRE (LRE=Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd)123 superconduc
tors by solution spinning and melt growth process in flowing 1%O-2+Ar (OCMG
). The effect of heating condition for oxygenation on the field dependence
of Je at 77K of the filamentary (Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd)123 superconductors was exa
mined. High Je value of 6100 A/cm(2) at 77 K and 9 T was measured by contro
lling the heating condition. The T-c of the sample was 95 K with DeltaT(c)=
1.5 K. The pinning properties of the sample were examined by extended analy
sis of volume pinning force and it was found that Delta kappa -point pinnin
g was dominant in this case.
