The a.c. susceptibility third harmonic component of NdO1−0.14F0.14FeAs: A flux dynamic magnetic analysis Original Research Article

In this contribution we present the analysis of the third harmonic susceptibility data of the new superconductor NdFeAs1−0.14F0.14. ‘Cole–Cole’ polar plots respect to the magnetic frequency of the exciting field are presented and discussed. Data show that NdFeAs1−0.14F0.14 exhibit a ‘bulk pinning’ with a 3D flux dynamic character. A comparison of the responses of high Tc materials and an evaluation of theoretical critical states is also presented.
