Abstract

Further details of the zero-field-cooled-magnetization and field-cooled-magnetization results on Nb disks exhibiting the paramagnetic Meissner effect (PME) are described. These studies indicate that two well-defined temperatures can be associated with features in the magnetization results. The higher characteristic temperature Tu is correlated with appearance of the paramagnetic moment and is strongly dependent upon the process used in forming the disk-shaped geometry of these Nb samples. The lower temperature TP is associated with the "intrinsic coupling" of the interior Nb platelets. These latest results are shown to be consistent with the flux compression model for the appearance of the PME. © 2000 Elsevier Science B.V All rights reserved.
