A study of irreversibility in the magnetization curves of TI2Ba2Ca2Cu3010 and TI2Ba2Cal Cu2O 8 was undertaken to determine the intragranular critical currents and the effects of flux-creep in grain-aligned samples of these materials. For fields>0.3 T, and H parallel to c axis, the critical supercurr

โฆ Synopsis
We present transport critical current (Jct) data for polycrystalline films in the TI-Ca-Ba-Cu-O system. Comparable results are obtained for unoriented films of TI2CaBa2Cu2Ox and unoriented and epitaxial films of TI2Ca2Ba2Cu3Ox: namely, Jcts over 105 A cm -2 (109 A m -2) at 77 K with weak sensitivity to magnetic field in the film plane. Jct falls more rapidly in fields normal to the film plane. The zero field Jet is quadratic in 1 -T/Tc from 4 K to 95 K.
The hysteresis in magnetization field loops collapses above 1 T at 76 K but not at 5 K. All of these results are consistent with strongly coupled grains and weak flux pinning at grain boundaries. Flux creep does not appear to be significant; if it were, the J~t data would give a lower bound on the potential Jet of these films. Finally, we discuss current-voltage data in terms of spatial non-uniformity in the critical current.

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
