Abstract

The field-cooled magnetization of Bi2Sr2CaCu2Ox, Tl2Ba2CaCu2Oy, and YBa2Cu3O7−z single-crystalline superconductors has been studied as a function of thermal history. A dependence of the Meissner fraction on the sample cooling rate was found. After a more rapid cooling, the temperature dependence of the magnetization during warming showed a pronounced minimum just before the transition into the normal state. This behavior has been analyzed within a generalized critical-state model, taking into account nonlinear flux diffusion. In the case of linear temperature dependences of Hc1 and conductivity, an exact solution was found which qualitatively reproduces the experiment.
