Stability and instability in high performance (metastable) composite strands during I-V measurement
Creators
Description
Factors affecting the measurement of critical current density (Jc) in high performance Nb3Sn strands are discussed. Sample holder design and sample mounting procedures are considered in the light of cryogenic heat flow considerations. Also discussed are: the steady state measurability of metastable strands at current densities (J) at and above their nominal Jc, and mechanisms governing their quench at sufficiently high values of J greater than Jc
