Abstract

We have studied the hysteresis loops of RBa2Cu3O7 (R=Gd, Ho and Y) and detected anomalies in some of them. The observed anomalies support a recent prediction by Ravi Kumar and Chaddah based on an extension of Bean's model. The anomalies indicate low Hc1 values and we have confirmed this by studying the onset of low-field hysteresis in less than 10 Oe at 77 K for these high Tc, superconductors.
