Critical current density of the whiskers

Abstract

The whiskers with 2212 phase have been grown out by annealing a melt-quenched plate in a stream of gas at for 121 hours. Temperature dependences of the magnetic susceptibility (-T) and the critical current density have been measured. The transition point of the whiskers is 76.2 K, and the value is at 63.4 K, zero magnetic field. near is found, which hints that there may exist some inner grain Josephson junctions in the whisker.
