Abstract
Measurements are reported on the longitudinal and tranvserse critical currents of chemically deposited Nb3Sn at temperatures close to Tc . Significant and systematic deviations are observed between these measurements and a simple flux pinningmodel of volume currents. The analysis suggests that surface supercurrents, which depend on the fundamental superconductingproperties of the material, dominate the superconductivityproperties reported here.Keywords
