Abstract

In our experiments we have found that the intergrain critical transport current I c in sintered, non-oriented high- T c superconductors shows a hysteretic time relaxation behavior. As a function of prior magnetic field cycling the I c-relaxation rate ∂ c/∂ t be positive or negative with different magnitudes and can also be made to vanish. Not only I c but the whole E-I-characteristics is shifting with time. We explain these results qualitatively in the frame of a magnetic field superposition model at the grain boundaries, with our earlier measurements on the relaxation of the intragrain magnetization. This could also be of importance for superconducting electronic applications.
