Rj. Soulen et al., SUCCESSFUL APPLICATION OF A MODIFIED AMBEGAOKAR-HALPERIN MODEL TO FITTHE CURRENT-VOLTAGE CHARACTERISTICS OF BULK PBHGBACACUO, Cryogenics, 34, 1994, pp. 821-824
We report measurements of the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of
a sample of Pb0.2Hg0.8Ba2Ca1.75Cu3Ox at 77 K, 27 K and 4.2 K in appli
ed magnetic fields varying from 0 to 6 T. These data are fitted very w
ell by a modified Ambegaokar-Halperin model. Useful information about
the material, including its critical current and pinning potential, ma
y be obtained from the fits.
