Abstract

The superconductive state magnetization of the high-Tc compound Y1Ba2Cu3Oz has been investigated. Single-phase, polycrystalline samples of this archetype were prepared by solidstate reaction. The onset of the superconductive transition, measured magnetically, was 90.7 K. In addition to low-field dc magnetization results, measurements of the magnetic critical current density Jc (H,T) are presented as a function of magnetic field and temperature. The low values of Jc, especially at high temperature, are discussed in terms of intergranular supercurrents that flow within individual grains in superconductive layers of reduced dimensionality.
