Abstract:

The limiting currents stably flowing in the current-carrying elements based on 1G and 2G high-temperature superconductors (HTS) are studied. An analysis of the stability of macroscopic thermal and electrical states in the current charging modes is made in terms of the static zero-dimensional and one-dimensional models. For the coated tapes based on the YBa2Cu307 (Y123), the stability investigation was made varying the thicknesses of the copper or silver, external magnetic field and cooling conditions. The analysis performed reveals that the currents of the instability do not practically depend on the thicknesses of copper or silver when the superconducting current-carrying element made of the Y123 is cooled by the cryocooler. At the same time, the increase in the thickness of the stabilizing copper layer leads to a monotonic increase in the limiting stable currents, if the liquid helium (LHe) is used as a coolant. The mechanisms of these features are discussed. It is shown that the limiting stable currents and the induced electric fields depending on the cooling conditions can be both below (subcritical regime) and above (overcritical regime) of a priori defined critical values of the electric field and current of superconductor. The stability criteria of DC regimes are written for the superconducting wires, which structurally consist of superconducting multi-filaments placed into a non-superconducting matrix. They permit one to estimate the allowable limiting values of the charged current, the induced electric field and the overheating of superconductor, which can lead to both the subcritical and overcritical stable regimes. The boundary conditions of them are formulated. In particular, the peculiarities of the stable limiting current regimes of Ag-sheathed Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 (Bi2212/Ag) wire are discussed in detail. As a result, the investigation performed extends significantly the class of admissible states of HTS as it proves the existence of stable resistive modes in which they do not go to the normal states in spite of the overcritical operating states that take place under different cooling conditions.

"Open access journals are extremely useful for graduate students, investigators and all other interested persons to read important scientific articles and subscribe scientific journals. Indeed, the research articles span a wide range of area and of high quality. This is specially a must for researchers belonging to institutions with limited library facility and funding to subscribe scientific journals."

"Open access journals represent a major break-through in publishing. They provide easy access to the latest research on a wide variety of issues. Relevant and timely articles are made available in a fraction of the time taken by more conventional publishers. Articles are of uniformly high quality and written by the world's leading authorities."


Robert Looney

"In principle, all scientific journals should have open access, as should be science itself. Open access journals are very helpful for students, researchers and the general public including people from institutions which do not have library or cannot afford to subscribe scientific journals. The articles are high standard and cover a wide area."
