Abstract

It is well known that the critical temperature of cuprate- and iron-based high-temperature superconductors changes with pressure. YBa₂Cu₃O_7-δ coated conductors, as well as Bi₂Sr₂CaCu₂O_x and Bi₂Sr₂Ca₂Cu₃O_x tapes and wires, show a clear reversible effect of strain on their current-carrying capability, but no clear understanding about the origin of this effect has been obtained. For the first time, we present evidence that the pressure dependence of the critical temperature is entirely responsible for a reversible change in critical current and magnetic flux pinning in Bi₂Sr₂Ca₂Cu₃O_x tapes with strain.
