摘要
The dendritic patterns of magnetic flux motion formed during field penetration into an MgB2 film were observed using mageto-optic imaging. To investigate the origin of the dendrites, experiments were performed where the sample was partially covered with an thermally conducting foil serving as an efficient heat sink. We observed that the dendrites are formed only in areas lacking the thermal conductor. When dendrites develop in the uncovered part they never invade into the covered region. The results strongly suggest that the dendritic instability is thermal in origin. (C) 2001 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
