Distribution of the sheet current in a magnetically shielded superconducting filament


الملخص بالإنكليزية

The distribution of the transport current in a superconducting filament aligned parallel to the flat surface of a semi-infinite bulk magnet is studied theoretically. An integral equation governing the current distribution in the Meissner state of the filament is derived and solved numerically for various filament-magnet distances and different relative permeabilities. This reveals that the current is depressed on the side of the filament adjacent to the surface of the magnet and enhanced on the averted side. Substantial current redistributions in the filament can already occur for low values of the relative permeability of the magnet, when the distance between the filament and the magnet is short, with evidence of saturation at moderately high values of this quantity, similar to the findings for magnetically shielded strips.
