Flux pinning in superconducting Pb-Na
… The discussion is extended to consider flux pinning in the bulk and on the surface in the mixed state. The apparatus used to measure the a.c. flux penetration into a Pb-Na cylindrical single crystal is described together with the experimental techniques employed. The measurements of …

Enhanced High-Field Flux Pinning in YBa2Cu3O7-x Thin Films Through Engineering of Ba2YTaO6 Artificial Pinning Centres
… is an understanding of the most effective pinning centre materials at low temperatures (10 K – 30 K) and high magnetic fields (B > 10T) for enhancing the critical current densities of these materials. This thesis investigates the effectiveness of the double perovskite material Ba2YTaO6 in …

Applications of High-Intensity Ultrasound for Synthesis and Modification of Advanced Materials
… are introduced into the superconductor's bulk (""pinning""). Ultrasonic irradiation of alkane slurries containing polycrystalline superconducting materials, with Fe(CO)5 or MO(CO) 6 leads to embedding of produced in situ ferromagnetic Fe2O3 or Mo2O5 nanoparticles into the bulk of superconducting …

Microstructural control and superconducting properties of YBa₂Cu₃O₇₋ₓ melt textured single crystals
… further understanding of the crystal growth and flux pinning mechanisms. This research is aimed at constituting a contribution to the knowledge base for the Y123 high temperature superconductor field by extending the study of processing conditions involved in controlling the microstructure of the …

Electrical and magnetic properties of twin-free single-crystal praseodymium-doped YBa2Cu3O7-d
… the Anderson-Kim model ofthermally activated flux-creep, we calculated the effective flux pinning energy, U, for each sample. The results show that for Tffc < 0.45, U exhibits a weak dependence on Pr concentration, whereas for T/Tc > 0.45, U shows a clear maximum at x = 0.2. In addition, we …

The Effects of Annealing URu2Si2 on the Resistivity and Meissner Effect
… Hc1 is relatively high, which may be due to flux pinning by the crystal defects.

Modelling and experimental studies of the magnetic properties of bulk high temperature superconductors
… from their ability to trap magnetic field by flux pinning ( often described by the Bean model) and their Jc-B (the Kim model) and E-J characteristics (the flux flow resistivity model and the power law model). Chapter 2 relates the properties of bulk superconductors, and especially those …
