摘要: To study the influence of thickness on the magnetic properties of ReBCO (Re=Y, Gd, Sm, Nd, etc.) bulk superconductors, a single domain gadolinium barium copper oxide (GdBCO) bulk superconductor fabricated by the Re+ 011 top seeded infiltration growth (Re+ 011 TSIG) method was continuously sliced along the bottom to obtain samples of different thickness. The levitation force and attractive force of these samples were tested at 77 K in the zero-field-cooled (ZFC) state. It is found that as the sample thickness decreases, the levitation force decreases gradually whereas the attractive force increases. This is related to the varied ability to resist the penetration of magnetic field occasioned by varying sample thickness, which are deeply revealed by combining with the characteristics of the non-ideal type-I!I superconductor. Further, the levitation force exhibits a trend of slow initial change followed by rapid change, which may be attributed to the growth of the sample. Measurement of the trapped field shows that a similar distribution of trapped field at the top and bottom surfaces can be achieved by removing some materials from the bottom of the bulk. These results provide a reference for meeting the actual requirements of ReBCO bulks of different thicknesses and greatly contribute to practical designs and applications.
