Irreversibility effects in polycrystalline high-Tc superconductors studied by AC susceptibility

Local magnetic-field effects in the high-Tc polycrystalline superconductor La1.8Sr0.2CuO4-δ were studied by means of AC susceptibility measurements with a superimposed DC magnetic field, which has proven to be a sensitive technique for detecting intergranular screening currents. Measurements were pe...
