Abstract

The magnetization hysteresis loop m( H) and AC susceptibility (ACS) of type-II superconductor strips with geometric barrier have been calculated. The geometric barrier has a prominent effect on the magnetization hysteresis loops and the third harmonic ACS. The m( H) loop shows hysteretic behavior even for pin-free superconductors, and the third harmonic ACS shows quite different behaviors for pinning dominated and geometric barrier dominated superconductors, which can be used to experimentally distinguish between different pinning mechanisms in type-II superconductors.
