Abstract

The magnetization curves of YBa₂Cu₃O_y and Y_0.4Gd_0.6Ba₂Cu₃O_y samples prepared by a powder melting process technique were measured with a superconducting quantum interference device magnetometer at different temperatures. Fishtail effects are observed below 70 K with the H ⊥ c configuration in the Gd-added sample, while no peak effect is found in YBCO. The origin of the fishtail is discussed. It is found that J_c and flux pinning can be increased by the Gd addition. The magnitude of the improvement of J_c increases with the magnetic field. The reduction of the size of Y₂BaCuO₅ particles, stress-field pinning and magnetic pinning induced by the substitution of Gd for Y may explain the enhancement of J_c and flux pinning.
