Abstract

We measured magnetization hysteresis and zero-field-cooled magnetic relaxation for liquid-quenched Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O samples at various temperatures. We found that there is a close correlation between the magnetic behavior and the microstructures of the samples. The magnetization hysteresis greatly increases in the samples with a large amount of crystal defects such as precipitates and stacking faults in the matrix of the material. We also found that the flux creep is reduced as a result of these microstructural changes.
