AC susceptibility; Bi-2223/Ag multifilamentary tape; magnetic field orientation
Abstract :
[en] In this communication, we report on the anisotropy of the superconducting properties of multifilamentary Bi-based tapes experimentally investigated by AC magnetic susceptibility measurements. The susceptibility X = X' - jX" was measured using a commercial system and a couple of orthogonal pick-up coils. The X'' vs. temperature curves were shown to exhibit two peaks. The smaller of the peaks, occurring near T = 72 K, was only visible for particular field directions and within a given frequency window. Such results point out the role played by the phase difference between the applied magnetic field and the internal magnetic field seen by the filaments. (C) 2003 IEEE.
