✦ Synopsis
Magnetization studies of critical currents J~(H±,T) and of the flux creep rate dlnM/dlnt have been carried out on low T~ Pb/Ge multilayers, which can be used to model the superconducting properties of the layered high Tc cuprates. By taking a proper Ge separator thickness a crossover between two different pinning regimes can be observed. This transition leads to an anomalous dependence of critical current and the flux creep rate on perpendicular magnetic field H± in Pb/Ge multilayers, while a single Pb film demonstrates a monotonous suppression of J~ by H±. These magnetization data fully confirm the anomalous behaviour of Jc(H±) previously found in Pb/Ge multilayers from measurements of transport critical current.
