Scaling the reversible strain response of MgB2conductors

The reversible axial strain dependence of the critical current of MgB 2 conductors is shown to vary with the temperature and magnetic field. The measured critical temperature and irreversibility field are also found to change reversibly with the axial strain. Combining these effects, we show empirically how the strain dependence of the whole critical surface can be scaled with just three parameters: the strain dependences of its three corner points.
