The influence of fractal boundaries of a normal phase clusters on the flux creep in the copper-oxide hightemperature superconductors YBCO was investigated. A model of the magnetic-field dependence of the voltage due to flux creep for different transport currents was developed. To describe the experimental curves is proposed to use an exponential-hyperbolic function in which the argument is direct current. Empirical dependence of the fractal dimension of the cluster boundaries on the magnetic field strength was determined. The characteristic values of the magnetic field were found. The index of connectivity of the flux creep paths at the percolation threshold was calculated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
