“…In the past we have shown that the static magnetic properties of the high-Te superconductors, and, in particular, their magnetic-hysteresis loops, can be reasonably reproduced by using 2D arrays of superconducting junctions as model systems [1]. Our description however: a) did not take into account the effect of the screening currents, and thus was confmed essentially to a narrow temperature range below the critical temperature, for which the array penetration depth, ~ ,, can be considered infinite; b) was focused on what we may call the (,geometrical, magnetism (*) Paper presented at the ,,VII Congresso SATT., Torino, 4-7 October 1994. of the array, i.e.…”
