Effect of thickness on the magnetic properties of melt-processed YBCO thick films

The magnetic properties of melt-processed YBa2Cu3O7-δ thick films have been measured and correlated with features in the microstructure at 4.2 and 77 K for film thicknesses between 50 and 140 μm. A qualitative model for the volume magnetization of the films at 4.2 K is proposed in terms of the individual contributions from intra H-S grain, inter H-S grain and granular Jc components.

Effect of current on the evolution of a solitary wave

In this paper, the effect of current on the evolution of a solitary wave is studied. The governing equation in the far field, KdV equation with variable coefficients, is derived. A solitary wave solution is obtained. The fission of a solitary wave is discussed, and the fissible region on the Q～h2-plane and the criterion of the number of the solitary waves after fission are found.
