Abstract

The processes of the formation of the macroscopic states of a superconducting tape induced by the transport current at magnetic flux creep have been studied. It has been shown that there are characteristic values of electric field intensity that are affected by a rate of current injection, properties of a superconductor, cooling conditions, and properties of a stabilizing matrix. These values are the basis of thermal electrodynamic mechanism, which determines the slope of a rise of IVC of technical superconductors. The conditions of formation of current instabilities have been studied taking into account a nonuniform temperature distribution over the cross section of a technical superconductor. The conditions of the existence of the IVC of technical superconductors have been formulated. These conditions allow for the stable heating of a superconductor as high as the critical temperature. The results of the carried out studies should be taken into account when measuring the IVC of superconducting materials and determining their critical parameters and the current of instability occurrence.
