Abstract

The authors have measured the magnetic field H' at the center of a hollow of sintered Y-Ba-Cu-O superconductor as a function of applied field H, temperature, tube length, and tube wall thickness. The maximum field that can be shielded H/sub sh/ agrees with the value calculated from the critical state model using the measured critical-current density J/sub c/. The maximum trapped field H/sub tr/ in the tube, on decreasing H to zero, exceeds H/sub sh/ by as much as a factor of two, and large enhancements in J/sub c/ are observed in the decreasing field. These phenomena are identified with intragranular flux pinning present only after H has exceeded H/sub c1/ of the grains. Finite tube length does not affect the H/sub tr//H/sub sh/ ratio appreciably. H/sub sh/ depends approximately on the square root of the wall thickness. >
