Improving critical current density of Nb3Sn by optimizing pinning potential of grain boundary and grain size

Abstract: Nb3Sn superconductor is of significant interest for applications in constructing high-field magnets beyond the limit of NbTi. However, its critical current density decreases rapidly at high magnetic fields ( > 12 T) and the state-of-the-art level of Nb3Sn superconductors still cannot meet the requirements of the planned future accelerator magnets. The primary flux pinning centers… Show more

“…Grain boundaries have their own properties and act as microstructural discontinuities, separating the grains. Grain boundary structures are of particular importance because most technological superconductors are polycrystalline and the grain boundary defects strongly affect magnetic flux distribution and limit J c [44,45]. The superconductivity group of Durham University has constructed a framework for analytical and computational the critical current of two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) polycrystalline systems with grain boundaries based on the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau theory [46][47][48][49][50].…”

“…[26] The investigations on random GB networks with complex orientations which can model polycrystalline materials also play a crucial role in gaining a deeper knowledge about grain boundary mechanism on vortex motion. [27,28] In the present work, the GB networks are generated in the coordinates of the nuclei of crystals by using Voronoi tessellation. In order to study the vortex dynamics in superconducting films, the GB is assumed to be composed of uniformly distributed special sites and an attraction well formed by the local electric fields.…”
