An Experimental Measurement of the Dependence of the H-I Curve of NB-Zr Wire on Temperature

摘要

The report contains the description of an apparatus to measure the variation with temperature of the current carrying capacity of short samples of superconducting material as a function of externally applied magnetic field. Included in the report are data for the following samples: Nb-25% Zr - 0.010 in. dia. wire; Nb-25% Zr - 0.010 in. dia. wire (heat treated); Nb-33% Zr - 0.010 in. dia. wire. (Author)
