摘要
The AC susceptibility, chi, at zero DC magnetic field of a polycrystalline sample of LaFeAsO0.94F0.06 (T-c approximate to 24 K) has been investigated as a function of the temperature, the amplitude of the AC magnetic field (in the range H-ac = 0.003 Oe divided by 4 Oe) and the frequency (in the range f = 10 kHz divided by 100 kHz). The chi(T) curve exhibits the typical two-step transition arising from the combined response of superconducting grains and intergranular weak-coupled medium. The intergranular part of chi strongly depends on both the amplitude and the frequency of the AC driving field, from few Kelvin below T-c down to T = 4.2 K. Our results show that, in the investigated sample, the intergrain critical current is not determined by pinning of Josephson vortices but by Josephson critical current across neighboring grains.
