A b s h a c M new generation of Hall sensor magnetometer for non-destructive studies of superconductor homogeneity is proposed and tested. The magnetometer allows us to measure the threedimensional spatial dependence of all three components of magnetic field produced by applied or induced currents in the conductor. This new technique is more sensitive to detect small obstacles in the current path than the old Hall sensor techniques measuring only the field component perpendicular to the flat surface of the conductor. Havingpresented themeasurement system, the method Is demonstrated by experiments on multifilamentary BSCCO tapes.
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.
