Abstract
In this study, the influence of conformal pinning centers on enhancing the critical current density in superconductors has been investigated. To increase the critical current density, a square-pinned array with dimensions of 10λ by 10λ under two appropriate conformal transformations is considered. Initially, by specifying the forces acting on the vortices, the relevant Langevin equation for the vortices is solved. By solving this equation, the vortex positions versus time are determined, and using this information, the critical current density is calculated as a function of the magnetic field. Then, the critical current density is calculated for various conformal function parameters in a superconductor tape. The results indicate that after applying two conformal transformations with appropriate parameters, the critical current density could be increased at higher magnetic fields. Simulations demonstrate a 25% increase in critical current density in the optimal case.
期刊介绍:
Physica C (Superconductivity and its Applications) publishes peer-reviewed papers on novel developments in the field of superconductivity. Topics include discovery of new superconducting materials and elucidation of their mechanisms, physics of vortex matter, enhancement of critical properties of superconductors, identification of novel properties and processing methods that improve their performance and promote new routes to applications of superconductivity.
The main goal of the journal is to publish:
1. Papers that substantially increase the understanding of the fundamental aspects and mechanisms of superconductivity and vortex matter through theoretical and experimental methods.
2. Papers that report on novel physical properties and processing of materials that substantially enhance their critical performance.
3. Papers that promote new or improved routes to applications of superconductivity and/or superconducting materials, and proof-of-concept novel proto-type superconducting devices.
The editors of the journal will select papers that are well written and based on thorough research that provide truly novel insights.
