Abstract
A silver-sheathed (Bi,Pb)2Sr2Ca2Cu3Oy tape was studied in terms of harmonic responses χn=χn′−iχn″ (n=3, 5, 7) to reveal the angular dependence of its physical properties. In the screening method higher harmonic responses are directly related to the nonlinear voltage–current [E(J)] relation of the sample. Therefore, the effect of the silver sheath on the harmonic measurements can be neglected. We performed measurements of the harmonic responses as a function of applied magnetic field or angle between the magnetic field and the tape plane at various temperatures. The measured data could be scaled onto a single curve by using the three-dimensional scaling relation. The derived anisotropic parameter γ ranged from 5.1 to 5.6 at the measured temperature region. Such a small γ value was attributed to the misalignment of the grains in the tape.
