Abstract

The dc magnetization of a superconducting BaPb0.75Bi0.25O3 sample has been measured as a function of magnetic field and temperature. The results showed that an irreversibility line lies considerably below the superconducting normal phase transition boundary Bc2(T), similar to that commonly observed in high-temperature superconductors, even though BaPb0.75Bi0.25O3 displays a very long coherence length. We attributed the observed large magnetically reversible region to a very small thermodynamic field, which leads to low condensation energies. The reversible magnetization data obtained in the region above the irreversibility line enable us to determine a full set of superconducting parameters for the material.
