Flux pumping Flux pumping Flux pumping is a method for magnetising superconductors to fields in excess of 15 teslas. The method can be applied to any type II superconductor and exploits a fundamental property of superconductors. That is their ability to support and maintain currents on the length scale of the superconductor. Conventional magnetic materials are magnetised on a molecular scale which means that superconductors can maintain a flux density orders of magnitude bigger than conventional materials. Flux pumping is especially significant when one bears in mind that all other methods of magnetising superconductors require application of a magnetic flux density at
Flux quantum state ψ(r, t) have a probability density defined as So the probability of finding a particle in a differential volume element dr is Then the number of particles passing perpendicularly through unit area of a cross-section per unit time is the probability flux; This is sometimes referred to as the probability current or current density, or probability flux density. As a mathematical concept, flux is represented by the surface integral of a vector field, where F is a vector field, and d"A" is the vector area of the surface "A", directed as the surface normal.For the second,n is the
