Critical Current and Pinning Features of a CaKFe<sub>4</sub>As<sub>4</sub> Polycrystalline Sample

We analyze the magnetic behavior of a CaKFe4As4 polycrystalline sample fabricated by a mechanochemically assisted synthesis route. By means of DC magnetization (M) measurements as a function of the temperature (T) and DC magnetic field (H) we study its critical parameters and pinning features. The c...
