Using a temperature measurement, the field induced dissipation in polycrystalline YBa2Cu30 x at T,~ T c has been measured for magnetic fields up to 2970 Oe applied at constant ramp rates, in the absence of a transport current. At 4.85 K results show that for H > 500 Oe the dissipated energy was rate

โฆ Synopsis
The specific heat of high-purity, sintered, YBa2Cu307-x powder has been measured. The lowtemperature specific heat had only a linear term (with a zero-field coefficient of 4.37 mJ mole K 2) and a cubic term (corresponding to a Debye temperature of 375 K); both terms varied with field. No Schottky peak was evident. Raman-effect data obtained on our sample showed that less than one third of the linear term could arise from the presence of BaCuO2. Using anisotropic Ginzburg-Landau theory in the London limit, we were unable to account for the reduction of the cubic term, and could account for only part of the enhancement of the linear term with increasing field.

Specific heat experiments have been performed on single crystal YBa z Cu 3 0, around the transition, under magnetic fields up to 6 tesla orientated parallel and normal to the (ab) planes. The curves under field ~(ab) show a weak influence of the field on the Cp anomaly, by comparison with the smeari
Measurements of the trapped flux (rcmanent magnetism) in polycrystalline YBasCusO, in the range 15-50 K show that at low applied field pulses, flux is trapped in the intergrain voids.

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
