The measured susceptibilities were affected by the ac field amplitudes. The measured fundamental susceptibility was compared with the Bean model. An empirical function for the penetration field H p = H α (1 - t) β , where t is the reduced temperature, was obtained. Ac losses were determined at fixed temperatures and compared with theoretical calculations. A qualitative agreement was found between the experimental results and theoretical calculations.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/embargoedAccessAC lossesAC susceptibilityBean modelYBCOArticle241-226126410.1007/s10948-010-1010-72-s2.0-80052141402Q2WOS:000289855700040Q3
