The V-I characteristic curves of T1-2212 thin film at different applied mag
netic fields and temperatures were measured by an electric transport method
. To understand the experimental data, a model, which contains two paramete
rs (n and j(c0)), to describe the local E-j relation was proposed. To verif
y the model. we calculated V-I curves of a thin film with a rectangular cro
ss-section by solved electric-dynamical equation plus the model as a materi
al equation. Comparison between the measured and calculated V-1 curves show
s a satisfactory agreement, demonstrating that the model can well describe
the local field-current relation. In addition. the situation for a sample w
ith a rectangular cross-section was discussed. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.
