Current Density Distribution in 2G HTS Tape in an External Magnetic Field

AbstractThis paper describes the method of study of the critical current density distribution across a tape in a background magnetic field. We measured the current distribution by the scanning Hall probe method. Then we measured field across a tape by a set of 10 Hall probes placed on a single substrate. By comparison of data from these two experiments we determined positions of Hall probes at a tape. Then we measured the current distribution of current density across a tape inside a magnet in parallel and perpendicular magnetic field of 30 mT. The details of measuring method and results are presented
