Abstract
Experimental data on the real (x′) and imaginary (x″) parts of AC magnetic susceptibility as a function of DC bias field (H) shows the effect of trapped flux in granular highT c superconductors. The aim was to substantiate our recent theoretical findings on the basis of a two-component critical state model suitable for granular highT c superconductors. Stress has been given to understanding the origin of hysteresis inx′(H) andx″(H). It was seen in the experimental data that above a certain value of DC field range irreversibility appears inx′(H) andx″(H) creating hysteresis like loops. Comparison of data with calculated loops shows good agreement.x′(H) andx″(H) curves show considerable asymmetry in presence of trapped flux.
