Magnetization Loss in a Striated YBCO Coated Conductor Considering the Intrinsic Critical Current Distribution

In this work we present numerical analysis results of the magnetization loss in a perpendicular AC magnetic field. The numerical analysis is based on the relation of the linkage magnetic flux to current distribution, and takes into account the J_c-B characteristic, and n value-B characteristic. We discuss the relation between the magnetization losses with striated superconducting tape and the semicylindrical intrinsic critical current density distribution across the width of the superconducting tape. The result shows that the magnetization loss of monocore superconducting tape in a low magnetic field is affected by the intrinsic semicylindrical critical current density distribution. With a striated structure, the influence of the intrinsic critical current density distribution is reduced
