A precursor mechanism triggering the second magnetization peak phenomenon in superconducting materials

Abstract The correlation in type-II superconductors between the creep rate S and the Second Magnetization Peak (SMP) phenomenon which produces an increase in Jc, as a function of the field (H), has been investigated at different temperatures by starting from the minimum in S(H) and the onset of the...
