Various applications of superconducting materials require accounting of anisotropy of the current-carrying capacity relative to magnetic field direction - Ic({theta}). However, today there is no sufficiently comprehensive model that takes into account the anisotropy, therefore the angular dependences are usually not analysed, but only described using various mathematical formulas. As a result, the fitting parameters have no physical meaning and it is difficult to correlate the picture with the features of the microstructure. In this paper, we propose a method for analysing the critical current angular dependences based on the anisotropic pinning model. The applicability of this model for conventional superconducting Nb-Ti tapes with one peak in the Ic ({theta}) dependence is shown. The possibility of extending this model to analyse the angular dependences of HTS materials is discussed.
MgB2/Fe tapes with 2.5-15 at.% ZrB2 additions were prepared through the in situ powder-in-tube method. Compared to the pure tape, a significant improvement in the in-field critical current density Jc was observed, most notably for 10 at.% doping, whi
A significant enhancement of Jc and Hirr in MgB2 tapes has been achieved by the in situ powder-in-tube method utilizing hollow carbon spheres (HCS) as dopants. At 4.2 K, the transport Jc for the 850C sintered samples reached 3.1x10^4, and 1.4x10^4 A/
The key ingredient of high critical currents in a type-II superconductor is defect sites that pin vortices. Contrary to earlier understanding on nano-patterned artificial pinning, here we show unequivocally the advantages of a random pinscape over an
We present the new paradigm of critical current by design. Analogous to materials by design, it aims at predicting the optimal defect landscape in a superconductor for targeted applications by elucidating the vortex dynamics responsible for the bulk
The effect of the quality of starting powders on the microstructure and superconducting properties of in-situ processed Fe-sheathed MgB2 tapes has been investigated. Three different types of commercial atomized spherical magnesium powder and two diff
