Abstract

Recent work has shown that the melt-powder-melt-grown (MPMG) high temperature superconductor YBa₂Cu₃O₇ with Y₂BaCuO₅ inclusions sustains unusually high critical current in the bulk. In the present paper the magnetic irreversibility line of this material is studied by AC permeability measurements. The irreversibility line is much steeper and is moved to higher temperatures compared to single crystal YBa₂Cu₃O₇ and the reversible region between the irreversibility line and the H_c2 line is drastically shrunk. From standard flux creep analysis the pinning energy is found to be increased by one order of magnitude as compared to YBa₂Cu₃O₇. The measurements further show that the irreversibility temperature increases in a simple logarithmic fashion with increasing frequency. The magnetic AC field response is found to be highly nonlinear even when B_ac B_dc∼10^-5.
