Abstract

Magnetic properties have been investigated for several rare-earth based, polycrystalline samples of high Tc superconductive “123” compounds with magnetic onset temperatures between 90 and 95 K. Analysis of the susceptibility × of samples based on Gd, Ho, and Dy indicates that the superconductive and magnetic properties are independent of one another to a substantial degree. Studies of the critical current density Jc are reported.
