  2. Itwaspublishedthepapernamed “Theeffect of partialLu doping on magnetic behaviour of YBCO (123) superconductors” byOzturk et al. in Journal of AlloysandCompounds , 495, (2010), 104–107 [1]. Wehavefoundthatpartial (50 %) Lu doping to YBCO decreasesthetransitiontemperatureTc. improves the bulk criticalcurrentdensityand lower critical field (Hc1) in the low temperature region (at 20 K).

  3. In this work we have investigated the 50% Lutetium doped YBCO superconductor prepared by conventional solid state reaction method by means of AC susceptibility measurements and theoretical analysis. • We measured the AC susceptibility of the sintered pellet as a function of temperature and AC magnetic field amplitude in the presence of static bias magnetic fields Hbdirected along Hac. • AC susceptibility measurements for the sample have also been performed as a function of AC field amplitudes (1-17 Oe) and frequencies (20-3020 Hz) at constant temperature (at 77 K).

  4. The ac susceptibilities were measured with a commercial Quantum Design PPMS Model 6000 ACMS option. The dimensions of the Lu doped sample were 2.05 × 2.25 × 2.45 mm3. The sample was mounted with its length along the direction of the collinear magnetic fields. We display the temperature behaviour of the ac susceptibility for the Lu doped sample at various ac field amplitudes (rms) in Fig. 1, where Hb = 0. We normalized experimental ac susceptibility data ’(T) and ’’(T) to the |’| at the lowest temperature and the lowest field amplitude for each sample since the demagnetizing correction would cause = 1 for low enough temperature at low field amplitude. The loss peaks shift to lower temperature by increasing field amplitudes. The amount of the shift as a function of the field amplitude is proportional to the strength of the pinning force. Comparing any two samples, the larger the shift in the maxima of” , the weaker the pinningand hence the smaller jcm will be.

  6. The following equations have been proposed by [2] to determine ’m , and ’’m , the contributions of the matrix susceptibility to the measured susceptibilities ’, and ’’ where fg denotes the effective volume of the grains. Applying the procedure described in [3] to the data of Fig.2 measured at Hac= 480 A/m we estimate fg  0.34. Neglecting field dependence for fgwe have calibrated all our measurements of ’’m accordingly..

(e) The T labels adjacent to the points on the curves of χ”mversus T/Tcm indicate their relationship with the corresponding limit profiles sketched in (a)–(d).

  9. The relation between first penetration field for matrix H*m and the peak temperature Tp can be written as follows: Figure 3. where 0 is the pinning strength parameter at T=0, p is the temperature exponent of the pinning strength or critical current density, n is a parameter indicating the field dependence of the intergranular critical current density and R is the radius of the cylinder or half thickness of the slab.To describe the intergranular critical current density we exploited the well known empirical expression Figure 5.Plot of penetration field Hac as a function of peak temperature. Open circles are for experimental data and solid line is for the calculated best fit curve using the parameters given on the legend.

  10. Pursuing the critical-state concept and Maxwell’s equation for idealized cylinder geometry, we developed expressions for the evolution of the configurations of the flux density profiles B(r) and their spatial average <B> for the complete variety of sweeps of Ha=Hb+Hac at different temperatures [4]. Since the integration of the area enclosed inside the hysteresis loops of <B> vs Ha yields W, the hysteresis loss per cycle per unit volume, the theoretical imaginary part of the susceptibility [5], which we call the normalized hysteresis losses, can be written as Hmax = Hb + Hac Hmin = HbHac Figure 6.
