The changes of the microstructures of bulk single-phase Eu1-xDyxBa2Cu3
O7-delta and Eu1-yGdyBa2Cu3O7-delta superconductors due to (Dy, Gd)-do
ping were investigated by the Mossbauer effect. The pinning potentials
of the samples were calculated by magnetization relaxation analysis.
The interaction between the magnetic moment of magnetic rare-earth cat
ions and flux lines in these samples was considered as a predominant p
inning mechanism in high T-c superconductors in this paper.
