Description |
The critical current density Jc of some of the superconducting samples, calculated on the basis of the
Bean’s model, shows negative curvature for low magnetic field with a downward bending near H = 0.
To avoid this problem Kim’s expression of the critical current density, Jc = k/(H0 + H), where Jc has positive
curvature for all H, has been employed by connecting the positive constants k and H0 with the features of
the hysteresis loop of a superconductor. A relation between the full penetration field Hp and the magnetic
field Hmin, at which the magnetization is minimum, is obtained from the Kim’s theory. Taking the value of
Jc at H = Hp according to the actual loop width, as in the Bean’s theory, and at H = 0 according to an enhanced loop width due to the local internal field, values of k and H0 are obtained in terms of the magnetization
values M+(−Hmin), M−(Hmin), M+(Hp) and M−(Hp). The resulting method of estimating Jc from the hysteresis loop turns out to be as simple as the Bean’s method.
