Abstract :
As a part of a VAMAS program, the S/N transition of short sample HTS conductors were studied for a range of fields and temperatures. This paper discusses the characterization of typical and damaged samples at 4.2 K and 0 T. Attention is given to the calculation of n-values and the first derivative of the V-I curves. Also, the measurement setup is explained in some detail.<>
