Description

Non-relaxational magnetic hysteresis loops of YBa2Cu3O7-δ (YBCO) thin films have been measured by an improved a.c. magnetization measurement with a.c. external field amplitude up to 1000 Oe and frequency range from 30 Hz-10 kHz at 77 K. Above a certain frequency (∼ 1000 Hz), the width of the magnetization hysteresis loop does not change with frequency, indicating that the magnetization can maintain a saturated state, namely the critical state. Experiments show that the critical current density deduced from the non-relaxational magnetic hysteresis loops is quite close to the value obtained by the four-probe measurement. (author)
