“…The shortcut of an extrapolative fitting equation similar to the ESE relation may also exist for superconducting materials other than Nb 3 Sn, as noted previously. This is because unified scaling is a ubiquitous phenomenon with master scaling curves demonstrated for Nb-Hf/Cu-Sn-Ga, V 3 Ga, and Nb 3 Ge (Ekin 1981 andthe references in Ekin 2006); V 2 (Hf, Zr) (Wada et al 1982), V 3 Si (Ekin 1984); Nb 3 Al (Ekin 1984, Keys et al 2002, Banno et al 2005, PbMo 6 S 8 (Ekin et al 1985), MgB 2 (Dhalle et al 2005, Bi-2223(van der Laan et al 2006, and Y-Ba-Cu-O (YBCO) (Cheggour et al 2003, 2005a, 2005b, van der Laan et al 2007, 2012. Of course, angular dependences need to be considered for the high-T c superconductors, but the essential point is that when flux pinning curves can be scaled into a master curve, one flux pinning curve can in principal predict them all.…”
