Numerical simulation of the magnetization of high-temperature superconductors: 3D finite element method using a single time-step iteration
Gregory P. Lousberg, Marcel Ausloos, Christophe Geuzaine +3
We make progress towards a 3D finite-element model for the magnetization of a high temperature superconductor (HTS): We suggest a method that takes into account demagnetisation eff…
Measurement of the magnetic field inside the holes of a drilled bulk high-Tc superconductor
Gregory P Lousberg, Jean-Francois Fagnard, Jacques G Noudem +3
We use macroscopic holes drilled in a bulk YBCO superconductor to probe its magnetic properties in the volume of the sample. The sample is subjected to an AC magnetic flux with a d…
Bulk high-Tc superconductors with drilled holes: how to arrange the holes to maximize the trapped magnetic flux ?
Gregory P Lousberg, M Ausloos, Ph Vanderbemden +1
Drilling holes in a bulk high-Tc superconductor enhances the oxygen annealing and the heat exchange with the cooling liquid. However, drilling holes also reduces the amount of magn…
Random matrix model for antiferromagnetism and superconductivity on a two-dimensional lattice
Benoit Vanderheyden, A D Jackson
We suggest a new mean field method for studying the thermodynamic competition between magnetic and superconducting phases in a two-dimensional square lattice. A partition function…
An AC susceptometer for the characterization of large, bulk superconducting samples
P Laurent, J F Fagnard, B Vanderheyden +4
The main purpose of this work was to design, develop and construct a simple, low-cost AC susceptometer to measure large, bulk superconducting samples (up to 32 mm in diameter) in t…
