โฆ Synopsis
The anisotropy of the first critical field Hcl is found to increase from H/c/~(0)/H~I(0)=4 to I0 on going to x=0.93 llc to. x=0.64 . For x=0.93, Hcl(0)=(950-+200)Oe, Hc1~( 0)=(230+20)Oe. For x=0.64, H/~(0)=(270-+30)Oe, .LC + Hc1(0)=(27-2)Oe. An anomalous linear T-dependence was found for H//c at low temperatures. Critical currents Jc were also determined showing a jc(T)=joexp(-T/To ) dependence and an important anisotropy (for x=0.93, Jol=106A/cm 2 (in a-b planes), Jo2=1.4 10aA/cm z (along c axis); for x=0.64, Joi=3.6 105A/cm 2, Jo2=2.2 104A/cm2). The anisotropy ratio Jol/Jo2 is enhanced from 7 (x=0.93) to 16 (x=0.64).

In this paper the critical density for a polycrystalline sample is calculated assuming a model of weakly coupled superconducting grains and the influence of grain size on the maximum tunnelling current is investigated. In addition the Josephson vortices are shown to be bound by the pinning force inh
