Stability and oscillation of MTG high-T/sub c/ superconductors in inhomogeneous magnetic field
The dependencies of the oscillation amplitude on the oscillation frequency of high-T/sub c/ superconducting (HTSC) melt-texture growth (MTG) ball-sample suspended or levitated in an inhomogeneous magnetic field have been investigated. The dependence of the oscillation amplitude versus the oscillation frequency has maxima. The rotation of the levitated or suspended MTG ring-sample in the rotating magnetic field have been studied. The curve of the sample rotation frequency versus the magnet rotation frequency has maxima which correlate with maxima of the dependence of the oscillation amplitude of the levitated HTSC MTG ball-sample on the frequency of the external magnetic field.
