The Investigation of Sweeping Speed on the Magnetization of a 2 Inches Diameter $\hbox{YBa}_{2}\hbox{Cu}_{3}\hbox{O}_{7 - \delta}$ Thin Film With the Circular-Type Magnetic Flux Pump

A circular-type magnetic flux pump (CTMFP) device was built to study the flux dynamics on a 2-inch-diameter YBCO thin film. This CTMFP is composed of two CTMFP coils, with each CTMFP coil containing concentric three-phase windings and a dc winding. We connected the three-phase windings to the output of a commercial inverter. By changing the output frequency of the inverter, the sweeping speed of the circular-shaped travelling magnetic wave can be changed. The connection of the phase coils follows the forward consequence, so that the circular-shaped travelling magnetic wave travels inward to the center. The output frequency
f
was changed from
f
= 0.01 to 1000.0 Hz. The YBCO sample was sandwiched between the two CTMFP coils to experience the circular-shaped travelling magnetic wave. It was found that the increase of the flux density in the center of the film is independent of the sweeping frequency. In high frequency
f
= 1000.0 Hz, even if the waveform had changed a lot, the increment is still the same as in low frequencies.
