The magnetic properties of the newly discovered iron-oxypnictide SmFeAsO 0.85 high-Tc superconductor with a Tc of around 55 K were investigated. Bulk SmFeAsO 0.85 was prepared by a method for high-pressure synthesis. The lower critical field H c1 was estimated from the magnetization at low fields; H c1 (0) was measured to be 212 Oe. A linear temperature dependence instead of saturation at low temperatures in H c1 (T) revealed unconventional superconductivity with a nodal gap structure in our SmFeAsO 0.85 superconductor. The results showed that the well-known secondary peak in the temperature dependence of the critical current density Jc is absent in the SmFeAsO 0.85 high-Tc superconductor. The irreversibility line B irr was fitted well by the power law dependence (1 - T/Tc)n with n ~ 1.5. This is indicative of the flux creep phenomena in the SmFeAsO 0.85 high-Tc superconductor. In addition, within the range of measurement temperatures in this study, no crossover was observed in the temperature dependence of the irreversibility line B irr which may be due to low anisotropy in our SmFeAsO 0.85 superconductor.

ABSTRACTThe mechanical behaviors of flux pinning in GdxY1−xBa2Cu3Oy with various concentration of Gd were studied comparatively by means of a vibrating reed technique. Both the internal friction and the modulus increased with enhanced flux pinning due to the increasing of Gd content in GdxY1−xBa2Cu3Oy. It was in accordance with the results of the magnetic hysteresis measurements using a vibrating sample magnetometer. These results indicated that the substitution of magnetic rare-earth ions is a practicable method for improving the flux pinning in high Tc superconductor and the mechanical measurement of flux pinning as a judgement for the superconductivity of sample was proved.
