Abstract
We have measured the dependence of the transport critical-current density on magnetic fields and temperatures close to Tc of high-Jc Bi(2223) Ag-sheathed pressed (Jc=2.1×104 A/cm2, 77 K, 0 T) and cold rolled tapes (Jc=1.8×104 A/cm2, 77 K, 0 T). It is found that the transport critical current of the two kinds of tapes follows the relation Jc=Jco (1-αT+βT2). The results can be explained according to the thermally activated flux creep model. The dependence of Jc on H for two kinds of tapes is compared as H is parallel and perpendicular to the tape surface. It is found that the cold rolled tapes have a weaker field dependence of Jc for the H⊥ tape surface at higher fields (>0.2 T). The difference of Jc(H) between the pressed and cold rolled tapes seems to originate from the difference in their microstructure defects.
