ABSTRACTVarious models have been proposed to interpret ac susceptibility curves measured on sintered high-To superconductors (HTSC) and to deduce parameters like critical current densities and critical fields. To get more clearness, systematic studies of position and height of the intergranular maximum in χ'' have been performed on several ceramic HTSC samples in dependence of both ac field amplitude and sample size. In the present paper, the data are used to discuss the various models proposed in the literature. It is shown that modifications of the critical state model using incorrect jc(Hi) functions as well as other interpretations of the χ'' peak yield not actually intrinsic but sample size and geometry dependent parameters. The dependence of both position and height of the intergranular maximum in χ '' on ac field amplitude and sample size can be explained in the framework of a modified critical state model using a power law for the jc(Hi) dependence.

The effect of Ni 3+ ions on the intergranular T p temperature of the imaginary peaks of the ac susceptibility has been studied for a (Bi,Pb):2223 superconductor. The linear dependence of T p as a function of ac field amplitude agree with Muller critical state model. The Ni 3+ ions induced an increase of intergranular pinning force density. J cJ (T) dependence near T c agrees with the assumption of SNS intergrain junctions.

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.

The temperature and amplitude of AC field dependencies of both inter-and intragranular T p and T g temperatures of the imaginary peaks of χ′′ has been studied for a sintered single phase (Bi,Pb):2223 superconductor. The AC field dependencies for T p and T g and the relation between inter- and intragrain force densities were discussed by using Müller critical-state model. From the χ′′(T) curve, the values of intergrain magnetic critical current density J cJ was obtained via the application of Bean's critical state model. J cJ (T) dependence near T c agree with the assumption of SNS intergrain junctions.

Influence of flux creep on ac susceptibility (acs) of a superconductor was examined by simulation. Comparing the acs with and without flux creep, it was found that frequency of ac field shifted the acs with flux creep but did not affect the acs of critical state model. In addition, the amplitude of ac field and dc field affect differently for the two models.

Systematic measurements of the AC susceptibility as a function of temperature and magnetic field amplitude H ac for the Fe and Zn codoped ( Bi 1.6 Pb 0.4)( Sr 1.8 Ba 0.2) Ca 2( Cu 1-x-y Zn x Fe y)3 O z (x = 0.00;0.02 and y = 0.00;0.01) system are reported. Above H ac = 200 A/m, the linear dependence of T p for maximum of imaginary χ′′(T) peak as a function of AC field amplitude agree with Muller critical state model. The intergrain pinning force density decreases in doped and codoped samples.
