Abstract
The magnetic memory phenomena in a ceramic YBCO superconductor are studied by zero-field-cooled and thermoremanent magnetization after specific cooling protocols. The ceramic YBCO is considered as random Josephson-coupled networks of 0 and π junctions and shows successive phase transitions. The magnetic glass behavior, similar to those of spin-glasses, is observed below the lower transition temperature. The memory effect occurs strongly in an intermediate stop temperature and suppressed with an increased probing field. The results can be understood by the screening effect of the ceramic superconductor with a finite self- inductance.
