The intergranular properties of ( Y 1-x-y Zr x Ca y) Ba 2 Cu 3 O 7-δ ceramics were studies by using temperature-dependent ac susceptibility measurements at zero dc magnetic field. The intergranular critical current density was determined from ac susceptibility data by varying the field amplitude H ac . From the imaginary part of the complex susceptibility, χ″(T), we have determined the temperature dependence of the critical current density by using the Bean's model. The ac field dependencies of the intergrain χ″-peak temperatures T p are linear and agree with Müller critical state model. The results were analyzed in terms of superconductor-insulator-superconductor (SIS)-and superconductor-normal-superconductor (SNS)-type models for granular superconductors.

Ca -doped (x = 0.00, 0.07 and 0.20) epitaxial Y 1-x Ca x Ba 2 Cu 3 O 7-δ thin films were prepared on SrTiO 3 (100) by PLD technique. The superconducting transition temperature is found to decrease with increasing Ca content. The AC-susceptibility data were used to determine the intergranular critical current density, when varying the field amplitude H AC . The temperature dependence of critical current density was determined from the imaginary part of the complex susceptibility, χ′′(T), using Xing's relation. The results were analyzed in terms of superconductor-insulator-superconductor (SIS) and superconductor-normal-superconductor (SNS) type models.

The transport critical current density of bulk sintered samples of RBa2Cu3O7−x with R=Y, Gd, Ho, and Er has been determined at 77 K from I–V curves at different applied dc-magnetic fields (0≤H≤20 Oe), also the ac-susceptibility as a function of ac-field amplitude has been measured with a superimposed dc-magnetic field from 0 to 30 Oe at 77 K. The transport and magnetic (inductive) critical current densities, are clearly larger in field cooled samples than in zero field cooled samples. Likewise, the degree of shielding as determined from the ac-susceptibility measurements is larger for field cooled samples than for zero field cooled. This anomalous behaviour can be explained in terms of the magnetic flux pinning present in the grains when the sample is field cooled, which leads to a decrease in the magnetic induction of the intergrain region and therefore to a higher intergranular critical current density compared to a zero field cooled sample.

The effect of Fe 3+ ions on the inter- and intragranular Tp and Tg temperatures of the imaginary peaks of the AC susceptibility has been studied for a (Bi, Pb):2223 superconductor. The linear dependencies of Tp and Tg as a function of AC field amplitude agree with Muller critical state model. The Fe 3+ ions induced a fast decrease of inter and intragranular pinning force densities. The intergrain critical current density J cj calculated from χ″(T) curve is lower in x=0.02 Fe doped sample than in x=0.00 sample. J cj (T) dependence near Tc agrees with the assumption of SNS intergrain junctions.
