Abstract
In short‐specimen critical current measurements, inadequate separation between current and voltage contacts results in a finite linear slope in the measured voltage‐current characteristic at low currents. A simple approximate analytic expression is developed for estimating the magnitude of this slope from wire parameters. Current‐transfer lengths are evaluated for multifilamentary NbTi and Nb3Sn composite superconductors.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
