ALTERNATING CURRENT LOSS MEASUREMENTS ON SUPERCONDUCTORS IN THE MICROWATT RANGE.

Author(s) : SCHMIDT C., SPECHT E.

Type of article: Article

Summary

THE AUTHORS DESCRIBE THE DEVELOPMENT OF A TECHNIQUE WHICH ALLOWS THE MEASUREMENT OF ALTERNATING CURRENT LOSSES WITH A RESOLUTION OF 0.01 MICROWATT. THE METHOD IS SIMILAR TO A THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY MEASUREMENT. THE SAMPLE IS PLACED INTO A VACUUM VESSEL AND CONNECTED VIA A THERMAL RESISTANCE TO THE LIQUID-HELIUM BATH. LOSSES IN AN ALTERNATING MAGNETIC FIELD LEAD TO A TEMPERATURE INCREASE WHICH IS A MEASURE OF THE DISSIPATED POWER. CALIBRATION IS DONE WITH AN OHMIC HEATER CONNECTED TO THE SAMPLE.
