摘要
The flux pinning mechanism of BaFe1.9Ni0.1As2 superconducting crystals have been investigated systematically by magnetic measurements up to 13 T at various temperatures. The field dependence of the critical current density, J(c), was analysed within the collective pinning model. A remarkably good agreement between the experimental results and theoretical delta l pinning curve is obtained, which indicates that pinning in BaFe1.9Ni0.1As2 crystal originates from spatial variation of the mean free path. Moreover, the normalized pinning force density, F-p, curves versus h = B/B-irr (B-irr is the irreversibility field) were scaled using the Dew-Hughes model. Analysis suggests that point pinning alone cannot explain the observed field variation of F-p. (C) 2013 AIP Publishing LLC.
