We find a simple expression for the field dependences of the n-value for Nb3Sn strands which gives reasonable fits to empirical data. It is also found that a relationship between the n-value and the critical current, which is obtained from an assumed reduction of the flux line lattice shearing pinning force due to thermal activation, can describe the field dependence of the critical current. Using the relation between the n-value and the critical current, we propose a scaling law which we have called the Kramer model including thermal activation. It is shown that the proposed scaling law can explain the critical current data at 4.2 K, even at high field near the upper critical field. It is also compared with Ekin’s strain scaling law.
