Tóm tắt

The superconducting to normal transition by a rectangular pulse current in type-II Ta has been investigated. The potential drop along the specimen is observed as a function of time. The voltage pattern and the magnitude of the potential drop are obtained as functions of current amplitude, temperature, externally applied magnetic field, the angle between magnetic field and specimen axis, and κ values. The transition mechanisms are discussed. It is also shown in this experiment that the flux flow or flux creep and flux jump occur. A support to the paramagnetic current flow in the presence of longitudinal magnetic field is given.
