BeO doping effect on flux pinning properties in Bi(Pb)2212 crystals were st
udied. Critical current densi0ties for BeO 10 vol% doped crystals in self-f
ield increased all over temperature region in comparison with BeO-free crys
tals. The second peak in magnetization curves was observed for BeO 2 vol% d
oped crystal in the temperature region from 20 to 40 K. Irreversibility fie
ld B-irr for the 2 vol% BeO doped crystals improved in the temperature 40-7
7 K. The theoretical value of power law of the B-irr to the temperature bas
ed on the flux creep theory is in good agreement to the experimental value
in the region 15-60 K. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
