Summary

A compact, coaxial lead sample probe has been fabricated for the critical current density characterization of superconductors. This new device offers a compact geometry in the vicinity of the test sample while allowing currents up to 580 amperes to be delivered to it. The coaxial structure is used to provide a common cooling path for the current leads of the probe in order to allow the entire heat mass of the leads and sample to be precooled or maintained at an intermediate temperature between room temperature and 4.2 K.
