The influence of oxygenation and high temperature annealing on the peak effect of the magnetization of melt-grown YBa2Cu3 O7-? (0<?<1) material has been studied. A control sample was prepared using a normal melt-growth procedure and oxygenated during cooling. A single grain cut from the control sample was annealed in the temperature region of the crystal growth (1030°C-900°C) followed by a standard oxygenation. Some of the control sample was powdered and oxygenated for different lengths of time. The peak of the magnetization shifted to a higher field for the sample oxygenated for longer times. Compared with the control sample, the peak of the magnetization of the sample annealed in the higher temperature region shifted to a lower field. The results are discussed within the framework of the collective pinning and collective creep model.

Abstract

The influence of oxygenation and high temperature annealing on the peak effect of the magnetization of melt-grown YBa2Cu3 O7-? (0<?<1) material has been studied. A control sample was prepared using a normal melt-growth procedure and oxygenated during cooling. A single grain cut from the control sample was annealed in the temperature region of the crystal growth (1030°C-900°C) followed by a standard oxygenation. Some of the control sample was powdered and oxygenated for different lengths of time. The peak of the magnetization shifted to a higher field for the sample oxygenated for longer times. Compared with the control sample, the peak of the magnetization of the sample annealed in the higher temperature region shifted to a lower field. The results are discussed within the framework of the collective pinning and collective creep model.
