Abstract
This study measures the temperature dependence of reversible magnetization of grain-aligned high- superconductor with external magnetic fields parallel to the axis. The magnetization is field independent at K, which indicates strong thermal vortex fluctuations. From the vortex fluctuation model, the lower limit of coherence length along the axis and the anisotropy ratio has been obtained, which implies that this sample is anisotropic three-dimensional (3D) superconductor as . These results are supported by good 3D scaling behavior of high-field magnetization around as a function of . The thermodynamic critical field and the Ginzburg-Landau parameter were extracted from the model of Hao et al. Also, the various thermodynamic parameters were obtained: the penetration depth Å, coherence length Å, and the zero temperature upper critical field T.
