Superconductor: models with dependence on B

Power law with dependences on B

The critical current density Jc and the exponent n are the quantities that depend on the magnetic flux density B.

The general form of the previous function is thus the following one:

(3)

where:

• Ec is the critical electric field [V/m]
• Jc(B) is the dependence on B of the critical current density (see below)
• n(B) is the dependence on B of the exponent (see below)
• ρ₀ is an additional resistivity [Ω.m]

The dependence on B of the quantities Jc and n can be expressed using different models as that is presented in the tables below.
