18、DUCTION In addition to critical current and critical field, critical temperature is an important, basic property of materials that exhibit superconductivity. Also, critical temperature is practically important in applications of superconductors, since the higher the critical temperature is, the larg

19、er is temperature margin and the lower the cooling power consumption. Thus, standardization of the measurement method of critical temperature is quite beneficial to conductor users and is urgently required. There are a lot of test methods to measure the critical temperature of superconductors, inclu

20、ding the resistance method, d.c. susceptibility methods using a SQUID magnetometer and VSM (vibrating-sample magnetometer), a.c. susceptibility methods, specific heat methods etc. Test methods, other than the resistance method, may generally be more sensitive and informative compared to the resistan

21、ce method and may be more appropriate for non-homogeneous materials or for thick films, thin films, bulks and powders, for which the resistance method is difficult to apply. In this International Standard, however, the resistance measurement method is employed. This is because the resistance method

22、is simpler and more reliable and can be applied to most of the composite superconductors in industrial use. The outline of this standard was basically prepared by the Japan Fine Ceramics Association, a member institution of VAMAS (Versailles Project on Advanced Materials and Standards), TWA16 (Super

23、conducting materials). The extensive revisions of the outline were primarily made by the New Materials Center supervised by the Japan National Committee and VAMAS.

24、sistance method 1 Scope This part of IEC 61788 specifies a test method for the resistive determination of the critical temperature of composite superconductors for industrial use. The composite superconductors covered in this standard include Cu/Nb-Ti, Cu/Cu-Ni/Nb-Ti and Cu-Ni/Nb-Ti composite superc

25、onductors, Cu/Nb3Sn and Cu/Nb3Al composite super-conductors, and metal-sheathed MgB2composite superconductors, and metal-stabilized Bi-system oxide superconductors and Yttrium- or rare-earth-based coated conductors that have a monolithic structure and a shape of round, flat or square wire containing

26、 mono- or multi-cores of superconductors. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

29、tandard, the critical temperature (Tc) is determined as the mid-point of the resistive transition from the normal state to the superconducting state with a minimum of d.c. transport current (specimen current) and at no applied magnetic field strength except for geomagnetic field.

30、Figure 1 shows schematically a curve of resistance versus temperature for a composite superconductor. Draw a tangential line with 100 % height to the part of the curve in the normal state region. The value of the temperature at the intersection of the transition curve and a line with 50 % of the hei

31、ght of the tangential line is Tc. Draw also two lines with heights equalling 10 % and 90 % of the tangential line. The temperatures at the respective intersections with the transition curve, denoted by Tc0,1 and Tc0,9, respectively, are determined as shown in Figure 1. The transition width, Tcis def

32、ined as Tc0,9 Tc0,1. NOTE There are other possible definitions of critical temperature, which are not covered in this standard (see Clause A.1). 5 Requirements The resistance measurement shall be performed with the four-terminal technique. Tcshall be less than 3 % of Tc. In the case that Tcexceeds 3

33、 % of Tc, see Clause A.1. The target precision of this method, the coefficient of variation (COV) in an inter-comparison test, shall be 3 % or less. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to consult and establish appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the applicabili

34、ty of regulatory limitations prior to use. Specific precautionary statements are given below. Hazards exist in this type of measurement. Direct contact of skin with cold liquid transfer lines, storage dewars or apparatus components can cause immediate freezing, as can direct contact with a spilled c

35、ryogen. It is imperative that safety precautions for handling cryogenic liquids be observed. 6 Apparatus The apparatus consists of a base plate for specimen mounting, a specimen support structure, a liquid cryogen reservoir, a temperature control/measurement system and a resistance measurement syste

36、m. The specimen shall be mounted on a properly designed base plate. The material used for the base plate shall be a non-ferromagnetic material, for instance copper, aluminum, silver or the like, whose thermal conductivity is equal to or better than 100 W/(mdeg.) at 4,2 K. The surface of the plate sh

37、all be covered with an insulating layer (tape or a layer made of polyester, poly tetra-fluoro-etylene, etc.) whose thickness is 0,1 mm or less. The base plate dimension shall be the sample length plus at least 5 mm long in length and more than twice as wide as the sample width in width. The specimen

38、 mounted on the base plate is inserted with a specimen support structure into a cryostat filled with an appropriate amount of liquid cryogen. The specimen is placed above the level of the liquid cryogen where balancing the cooling of evaporated cryogen gas with the heat coming from outside the cryos

39、tat controls its temperature. Alternative temperature control methods, described in clause A.2, may be employed. EN 61788-10:2006 6 The specimen support structure shall be made so that a current can flow through the specimen and the resulting voltage generated along the specimen can be measured. For

40、 the cooling system mentioned above, the specimen support structure shall allow the specimen to be lowered and raised into and out of the liquid cryogen bath. The cryogen shall be selected from liquid helium, liquid hydrogen, liquid neon and liquid nitrogen. The boiling point of the cryogen selected

41、, however, shall be at least 10 % lower than Tcof the specimen. A thermal anchor to maintain a uniform temperature shall be used in the case of the measurement below 20 K. The cryogen can be used as the thermal anchor. The thermal anchor shall be connected to the base plate with a material with good

42、 thermal conductivity. 7 Measurement procedure 7.1 Mounting of specimen The test specimen shall be a straight length, 10 mm or longer, with a uniform cross section. The distance between two voltage taps shall be 5 mm or longer and shall exceed the longest cross-sectional dimension. Current and volta

43、ge taps should have a low resistance, e.g. by using copper wires and solder contacts in order to avoid noise and voltage fluctuations. The specimen shall be instrumented with current contacts near each end of the specimen and a pair of voltage taps over a central portion of the specimen. The specime

44、n shall be mounted on the base plate for the measurement. Special care shall be taken during instrumentation and installation of the specimen on the base plate to ensure that no excessive force is applied to the specimen, since this may cause undesired bending strain or tensile strain. The applied s

45、train shall be kept within 0,1 %. In some cases, the specimen might be slightly bent or deformed during the reaction heat treatment. Do not straighten the specimen in the case that the resulting strain exceeds 0,1 %. Here, the bending/unbending strain (b) is defined as b = 100 (r /R)( %), where r is

46、 a half of the overall thickness or diameter for the specimen. R is the bending radius on the base plate. At least two calibrated temperature sensors for measuring cryogenic temperature shall be used. One shall be placed near the specimen and the other shall be placed near the base plate. Temperatur

47、e sensors shall be selected from the resistance type: Pt, Pt-Rh, Pt-Co, Rh-Fe, Ge, C, C-glass and metal-oxynitride or the thermo-couple type: Au-Fe/Ni-Cr, Au-Fe/Ag-Au and Au-Fe/Cu. 7.2 Measurement 7.2.1 Voltage versus temperature curves Figure 2 shows schematically two curves of voltage versus tempe

48、rature and the initial voltages U0+and U0 at the starting temperatures for the first (U+-T) and the second (U-T) runs, respectively EN 61788-10:2006 7 7.2.2 First run The specimen shall be slowly lowered into the liquid cryogen bath and cooled to liquid cryogen temperature over a time period of at l

49、east 5 min. A specimen current with a positive polarity shall be applied and the resulting voltage U+(V) between the voltage taps and temperatures T (K) and Tb(K) from the sensors near the specimen and the base plate, respectively, shall be recorded. The specimen current values shall be determined under the condition that the resulting voltage just above the superconducting transition does not exceed 5 mV/m, to avoid an excess joule heat, but exceeds 2 mV/m to obtain enough normal voltage to discriminate the transiti
