Abstract

A brief review of the works devoted to the investigation of the causes of the hysteresis of the magnetoresistance R(H) observed on granular high-temperature superconductors (HTSC) is presented. A set of experimental data obtained on a polycrystalline YBa2Cu3O7–δ sample with transport and magnetic characteristics typical of this class of materials in a superconducting state is used. Based on data on the nature of the broadening of the resistive transition in an external field and the type of R(H) dependencies, the presence of two superconducting subsystems in granular HTSС, namely, granules and intergranular boundaries (Josephson media), is substantiated. Prerequisites are given for using a model of the behavior of a granular high-temperature magnetic field in an external field, in which the magnetic moments of superconducting granules affect the effective field in an intergranular medium. The observed hysteresis of the magnetoresistance R(H) is caused by the irreversible behavior of the magnetization of the granules. In an intergranular medium, the magnetic flux is compressed, as a result of which the effective field in the area of intergranular boundaries can exceed the external field by an order of magnitude. An analysis of the behavior of the parameter characterizing the compression of the magnetic flux in an intergranular medium makes it possible to almost completely describe the hysteresis of magnetoresistance for various magnetic backgrounds.

Keywords: HTS; intergranular boundaries; Josephson contacts; effective field; magnetoresistance.
