Influence of randomly oriented columnar defects on the irreversible and reversible magnetization of Tl2Ba2CaCu2Ox superconductor

TL;DR: In this paper, the superconductive transition temperature, the Meissner fraction, the intragrain persistent current density against the magnetic field and temperature, and the equilibrium magnetization were modelled using London theory with the addition of vortex-defect interactions, yielding physically reasonable parameters.
Journal ArticleDOI

Percolative current flow in high-Jc, polycrystalline high-Tc superconductors

TL;DR: In this article, the percolative nature of current flow in high critical current density polycrystalline superconductors is reviewed and a direct correlation between the grain-orientation texture with current transport in high-Jc TlB2Ca2Cu3Ox thick films and Bi2Sr2Ca 2Cu3 Ox powder-in-tube tapes is obtained.
Journal ArticleDOI

Persistent current density and flux creep in Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O/Ag tapes with splayed columnar defects from 0.8 GeV proton irradiation

TL;DR: In this paper, the superconductor was irradiated with 0.8 GeV protons to create columnar defects in the superconductors, which led to an enhanced persistent current density in the CuO planes, displacement of the irreversibility line to higher temperatures and magnetic fields, and a major reduction in the logarithmic time decay rate of the supercurrent density.
