Abstract
Similarities in the AC susceptibility curves and critical fields in the region near the transition onset are examined for Nb powder and YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7-y/ in the low-field region. The results are interpreted as a general behavior of any granular sample, possibly linked with the surface sheath superconductivity.<>
