Effect of an Elliptical Inclusion on Critical Current Density of a Long Cylindrical High-T (c) Superconductor

摘要

An analytical investigation is presented to display the distribution of critical current flow and trapped magnetic field around an elliptical nonsuperconducting inclusion within a long cylindrical superconductor. The current streamlines, the critical current density, and the trapped field around the inclusion in the superconductor without deformation are obtained based on the Bean model and the method of conformal mapping. The results show that the critical current density of a superconductor will be decreased dramatically due to a macroscopic nonsuperconducting inclusion. Besides, the maximum trapped magnetic field is limited by the inclusion.
