Abstract

We have studied magnetic flux distribution in polycrystalline (Bi,Pb)2Sr2Ca2Cu3O10+x superconductors at 77 K at different stages of an external magnetic field cycle using a movable miniature Hall sensor. The measured magnetic field profiles are compared to profiles achieved by numerical field calculations. The existence of both inter- and intragranular currents causes deviations to the field profiles predicted by classical critical state models leading to incorrect critical current density estimations, when using standard magnetization measurements.
