In our article, we show the n value determined from measurements using the magnetic field sweep method (curves of E from B/Bc) and the current sweep method (curves of E from I/Ic). The results from these two methods allowed for a scientific n value analysis. Moreover, measurements using these two methods allow for a better understanding of the behavior of superconducting wires after the transition from the superconducting state to the normal (resistive) state. Measurements were made for the NbTi wire at 4.2 K, MgB2 at the temperature range from 4.2 to 30 K, and high-temperature superconducting tape at 77 K. The magnetic field sweep method results show that the n value has a constant value independent of an increase in the magnetic field, number of filaments, type of boron, diameter of the wire, and small amount of the dopant. Moreover, research studies point out that the n value in the magnetic field sweep method depends on the type of superconductor material, a large amount of doping at high temperatures, and the low density of pinning centers. Based on the results obtained, it can be indicated that each superconducting material will have a constant n value. Measurements carried out using the current sweep method showed that the n value decreases significantly with an increase in the magnetic field. Moreover, research studies have shown that the n value depends on the number of filaments, type of boron, dopant, wire diameter, and temperature. On this basis, it can be indicated that the n value for the current sweep method depends on the morphology and structure of the superconducting wires. In addition, based on the samples measured in this research, the current sweep method allows for higher n values than the magnetic field sweep method in low magnetic fields. However, the magnetic field sweep method allows obtaining higher n values than the current sweep method in middle and high magnetic fields. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
