Y1Ba2Cu307\_x and Bi2Sr2CalCu208+ x Ag sheathed high Tc superconductor wires have been prepared using the powder in tube technique. Characterization of wire specimens was performed mainly by measuring critical current densities at 77 K and 4.2 K, as well as by a.c. susceptibility measurements. Where

โฆ Synopsis
The irreversibility lines Hirr(T) for the series of superconducting compounds mlrnA2Can_lCunO2+m+2n, where A is Ba or Sr, are measured between 0 and 1 T for m = 1 and 2 and n = 1, 2, 3 and 4 and show a marked steepening with decreasing anisotropy, i.e. as m is lowered from 2 to 1. In addition, for m = 2 material H~rr(T) is observed to steepen with decreasing number of CuO2 layers. The hole dependence of the irreversibility line is also investigated in TI2Ba2CuO6+ ~ by changing the oxygen stoichiometry 6. Hirr(T) progressively steepens with increasing hole concentration on the overdoped side of To(max). These results are consistent with a model of flux motion arising from a cross-over from 3D vortex lines to 2D pancake vortices which are decoupled in the c-direction, and provide guidance for materials selection and optimum doping. The manufacture of superconducting, silver-clad tapes using TIo.sPbo.sSr2Cao.8Yo.2Cu207 is described. Zero field transport critical currents in excess of 104 A cm-2 are obtained but the material is untextured and weak-linked, as shown by the strong field dependence of dc'

The field dependences of the critical current, current-voltage characteristics and a.c. susceptibility have been investigated for superconducting YBa2Cu307 films prepared by laser ablation. It was shown that the flux line pinning in polycrystalline high Tc films occurs due to anisotropy of the super
