The Hall effect on coupling losses in aluminum-stabilized superconductors

An aluminum-stabilized superconductor with a high current capacity is often used under the coexistence of the transverse and the parallel magnetic fields. A changing transverse field produces a path of inter-strand coupling currents in cross sections of the aluminum region. The magnetic interaction between the current and the parallel field causes what is called the Hall effect, so that the coupling loss feature is different from that of the ordinary conductor. The aluminum-stabilized conductor must generally be designed so as to avoid the increment in the resistivity of the aluminum due to the Hall effect at quench, but the low loss point of view should also simultaneously be taken into account in such a conductor design
