Abstract

An effective method for suppressing dendritic flux avalanches in MgB 2 films is demonstrated by coating the films with a metal rim along the edges, which is where the avalanches nucleate. The effect of the partial coating has been investigated by means of magneto-optical imaging on a series of samples with golden rims of different width. Measurements of the onset field of instability reveal that such rims can substantially improve the thermo-magnetic stability of the superconducting films.
