Abstract
The magnetic behavior of Na-, K-, Rb-doped YBCO ceramic samples is inv estigated at ac magnetic field at 77 K. For small Rb and Na concentrat ions, an increase of the field-dependent component of the critical cur rent is observed. High dopant concentrations lead to deterioration of the critical parameters of the YBCO material. The results are interpre ted as due to 'soiling' of the intergranular boundary by the dopant im purities and Cu excess.
