This part of IEC 61788 specifies the measurements of the local critical current density (Jc) and its distribution in large-area high-temperature superconducting (HTS) films by an inductive method using third-harmonic voltages. The most important consideration for precise measurements is to determineJcat liquid nitrogen temperatures by an electric-field criterion and obtain current-voltage characteristics from its frequency dependence. Although it is possible to measureJcin applied DC magnetic fields [20] [21], the scope of this document is limited to the measurement without DC magnetic fields.All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
