Abstract
The magnetic properties of a sphere of pure type-I superconducting lead (Pb) under rotating magnetic fields have been investigated in different experimental conditions by measuring the voltage generated in a set of detection coils by the response of the sample to the time variation in the magnetic field. The influence of the frequency of rotation of the magnet, the time it takes to record each data point and the temperature of the sample during the measuring process is explored. A strong reduction in the thermodynamic critical field and the onset of hysteretical effects in the magnetic field dependence of the amplitude of the magnetic susceptibility are observed for large frequencies and large values of the recording time. Heating of the sample during the motion of normal zones in the intermediate state and the dominance of a resistive term in the contribution of the Lenz’s law to the magnetic susceptibility in the normal state under time varying magnetic fields are suggested as possible explanations for these effects.
