摘要
A novel size effect in narrow Nb strips in relation to the width w was found in perpendicular fields much higher than H(c1); upon decreasing the width, even at 4.2 K, a linear resistivity at low current densities appeared for w less-than-or-equal-to 1. 12 mum, and the linear resistivity showed an enhancement with decreasing w. This behavior was explained by the reduction of collective pinning which occurs when w becomes comparable to the size of a hopping bundle of vortices. However, if w is further reduced, vortices are pinned individually and the surface barrier acts as a deep pinning potential, which resulted in a recovery of a high J(c). In zero field, these strips showed a clear increase in the critical current density with decreasing w, which agrees well with a calculation which takes into account the current concentration near the ed es.
