Abstract

A simple and interesting technique for measuring the Hc1 of the superconducting grains in bulk high Tc superconductor (HTSC) samples is presented herein. This technique takes advantage of interesting history effects observed in the nonlinear magnetic response of HTSC samples. The hysteretic second harmonic magnetization shows sharp structure at low applied fields due to the magnetic flux trapped inside the grains. This feature is used to track the penetration of magnetic field inside the superconducting granular regions.
