We review experimental studies of the time decay of the nonequilibrium magnetization in
high-temperature superconductors, a phenomenon known as magnetic relaxation. This …

The critical current jc and the pinning energy U c have been determined for three types of
yttrium-based superconducting films from current js and dynamic relaxation Q= d ln js/d ln …

The scaling and relaxation behavior around the fishtail minimum is studied in detail in a
wide temperature range (3–70 K) on DyBa 2 Cu 3 O 7− δ single crystals exhibiting a …

An extensive study of the magnetic properties of FeTe 0.7 Se 0.3 crystals in the
superconducting state is presented. We show that weak collective pinning, originating from …

The magnetic levitation forces exerted on a high-temperature superconducting (HTS) disk by
a cylindrical permanent magnet (PM) are calculated from first principles for superconductors …

A principally experimental review of vortex behaviour in high-temperature superconductors
is presented. The reader is first introduced to the basic concepts needed to understand the …

By measuring the dynamic and traditional magnetization relaxations we investigate the
vortex dynamics of the recently discovered superconductor SmFeAsO 0.9 F 0.1 with T c= 55 …

By means of high-sensitivity capacitance torque magnetometers we have measured the
superconducting current js and the dynamic magnetic-moment relaxation of YBa2Cu3O7 …

For thermally activated flux creep, which can be characterized by a temperature-magnetic-
field-, and current-density-dependent activation energy U (j, T; B e), we show that this …

The penetration and exit of magnetic flux in thin superconductors in a perpendicular applied
field is investigated in detail. Flux-density pictures and profiles are obtained by magneto …
