Abstract

Magneto-optical imaging (MOI) offers a unique and useful method for investigating crack formation in magnetic materials, including high temperature superconductors, under tensile strain. Flux penetration into superconducting samples is monitored with the application of increasing load, mapping void regions developed from microstructural changes. This technique is applied to the fracture mechanics of various high temperature superconducting films and tapes. Furthermore, converting the optical data into quantitative intensity distributions enhances the power of MOI. These distributions are subsequently post-processed, resulting in quantitative information regarding the current density profile. We discuss the results of these investigations, and the implementation of applying new post-processing image analysis techniques.
