Abstract

We have observed the decay of trapped flux in the superconducting compound Y1Ba2Cu3O6.5+δ with Tc=90 K at liquid-nitrogen temperature (77 K). Measurements were done on samples in the form of a disk, a ring, and a cut ring. The results showed similar logarithmic decays with time for all samples, in good agreement with Anderson’s flux-creep theory. This may indicate that our results were mainly due to microscopic vortex creep and not due to a macroscopic persistent current.
