Title

Investigating Radial Dependence of Field and Current Distribution in a Superconducting Niobium Wire

Abstract

Applying Ampere's law to a superconducting wire where the resistance is propotional to the local field results in a square root dependence of the self field with radius. Previous results, integrating over the full sample, are somewhat ambiguous. Scanning a very thin aperture over the radius will make the situation much clearer. SANS rocking curves will reveal the extent of the self-field adding to the applied field by broadening the rocking curve.
