A probe has been designed and built to measure the critical current density (J C ) of short superconducting wires and tapes as a function of strain (โ) in small bore high field magnets. The probe can measure currents of up to 100 Amps and strains of ยฑ 1.0% on both low and high temperature supercondu

โฆ Synopsis
A model to describe the critical current density behavior of high-T c polycrystalline superconductors is proposed for all magnetic field values. The main features of the model are as follows: the transport critical current density is controlled by the weak-link network at grain boundaries. The size distribution of weak links is well represented by a Gamma-type distribution. Finally, the tunneling critical current between grains follows a Fraunhofer diffraction pattern or a modified pattern if the applied magnetic field is lower or higher than the first critical field H c1 .
