A. Mehdaoui et al., IRREVERSIBILITY AND CRITICAL LINES IN TEXTURED HIGH-TEMPERATURE SUPERCONDUCTORS - EFFECTS OF PROCESSING ON THE MAGNETIC PHASE-DIAGRAM, Journal of alloys and compounds, 195(1-2), 1993, pp. 459-462
ac initial susceptibility of sintered, field textured, zone melted pol
ycrystals and single crystals has been studied in the low field limit.
Critical dynamic fields (h(c)) and relative position of irreversibil
ity line (I.L) and critical line (C.L) are consistent with the creatio
n of strong pinning sites. High anisotropy is observed in the case of
field textured samples.
