Magnetization of a YBa2Cu3O7 Crystal Prepared by the Quench and Melt Growth Process

Magnetization measurements have been conducted on YBa2Cu3O7 samples fabricated by the quench and melt growth(QMG) technique using a vibrating sample magnetometer at 77 K. It has been found that the magnetization behavior of QMG-processed YBa2Cu3O7 can be understood in terms of Bean critical state model.
