TLDR
In this article, the authors present the basic uniaxial-strain scaling relationship and focus on its application to Nb3Sn conductors, and propose a general scaling relation which unifies the usual temperature scaling relation with this strain-scaling relation.

- 01 Jul 2008 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the design concept, the fabrication procedure and the result of the strand performance test are discussed, and the characterization of the strands are performed by hysteresis loss measurement, RRR (Residual Resistivity Ratio), n -value, and critical current density measurement vs. temperature, magnetic field, and strain.

Flux vortices and transport currents in type II superconductors

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered the effects of lattice rigidity on the summation of pinning forces and showed that a summation based on statistical arguments uses the same approximations and leads to the same results as a dissipation argument.

Scaling laws for flux pinning in hard superconductors

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the peak in Fp scales as [Hc2(T)]2.5 if the temperature is changed; the maximum value of Fp occurred at the same value of reduced field regardless of temperature.

Hysteresis in Superconducting Alloys-Temperature and Field Dependence of Dislocation Pinning in Niobium Alloys

TL;DR: In this paper, critical current and pinning-force densities in a series of niobium alloys subjected to severe plastic deformation have been determined from measurements of complete hysteretic magnetization curves on alloys with Ginzburg-Landau parameter $\ensuremath{\kappa}$ between 1.3 and 13 at temperatures from the critical temperature ${T}_{c}$ down to $0.14{T}
