Abstract:
A dedicated experimental setup to measure magnetic fux dynamics and trapped fux in samples is used to precisely map out how trapped fux is infuenced by dierent parameters. The setup allows or rapid thermal cycling o the sample so that eects o cooldown parameters can be investigated in detail. We show how temperature gradient, cooldown rate, and the magnitude o external eld infuence trapped fux in large-grain, ne-grain and coated niobium samples. The detailed measurements show unexpected results, namely that too ast cooldowns increase trapped fux, large-grain material traps fux only when the external eld is larger than a temperature gradient dependent threshold eld, and the measured dependence o trapped fux on temperature gradient does not agree with an existing model. Thereore, a new model is presented which agrees better with the measured results.
