L. Richard et al., STUDY OF VORTEX MOTION IN A SINTERED HIGH T-C SUPERCONDUCTOR BY A VIBRATING REED TECHNIQUE, Journal de physique. IV, 6(C8), 1996, pp. 493-496
Using a vibrating reed technique in a subresonant excitation mode, dis
sipation mechanisms have been studied in sintered YBa2Cu3O7, supercond
uctors with different grain sizes. Experimental results are interprete
d within the critical state model. Results deduced from vibrating reed
technique are compared with ac susceptibility measurements. It is sho
wn that both techniques give consistent results.
