Experimental evidence is presented in support of a simple model, containing one adjustable parameter, which accounts for the dependence of the limiting frequency of single bubble propagation on bias field, rotating field intensity, and circuit period. The parameter, which characterizes the design of the overlay, is defined as the magnetic pole strength per unit of in-plane field. Having the dimensions of area, it is referred to as the cross section σ. Data taken on the same circuit designs at different periods (λ) confirm the expectation that σ is proportional to λ2. We found σ/λ2=0.016 for T-X circuits, 0.014 for T-Bar circuits, and 0.012 for a 3-bar chevron design.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
