Abstract:Conventional relaxation measurements on various samples (a YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7−δ thin film, a YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7−δ -coated conductor, and a Bi 2 Sr 2 Ca 2 Cu 3 O 10+δ tape) using a levitation balance are presented that are measured after a departure from the critical state by means of a small retraction Δd of the permanent magnet, which corresponds to a small field reduction ΔH a . In the case of YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7−δ , flux creep rates S are found to decrease with increasing ΔH a until a small plateau is reached, where flu… Show more
