LEVITATION GAP IN SUSPENSION OF HTSC UNDER THE PERMANENT MAGNET
An experimental study of HTSC disc levitation above the permanent NdFeB magnet and suspension of HTSC disc under the HTS magnet. It was shown that when the suspension under the magnet is observed at significantly greater distance (clearance) between the magnet and the disc. Consideration of the magnetization of the HTSC disc in the levitation and suspension on the basis of the critical state model enabled us to explain the observed differences in the clearance for these two variants of contactless suspension.
