Popis: Magnetic properties have been investigated for polycrystalline samples of RBa 2 Cu 2 O 7−δ with R = Y and all the rare earth elements except Pm. The normal-state magnetic susceptibilities of these compounds can be described as χ ( T )= χ 0 + Nμ 2 eff /[3 k b ( T − ϑ )], with μ eff comparable to the values of free R 3+ ions. The superconducting-state magnetizations for all measured superconducting compounds are very different for different R while the field and temperature dependence of critical current densities J c ( H , T ) inferred from the hysteresis of M ( H ) isotherms at different temperatures are similar. J c decreases with H , rapidly in low fields and slowly in high fields, and decreases by two orders of magnitude as the temperatures increase from 4.2 to 65 K. At 4.2 K and 180 kOe, the critical current densities of Gd, Yb, and Tm compounds range from 1.6 to 17 kA/cm 2 .
