| Summary: In this thesis, the effects of Ag_2O addition on AC losses of Bi-(Pb)-Sr-Ca-Cu-O system have been investigated by means of AC susceptibility measurements and theoretical analysis. Dependence on magnetic field and frequency of AC susceptibility and losses have been studied. From the examinations of the experimental results for the samples, Ag2O addition was seen to change the pattern of frequency dependent AC susceptibility and field dependent AC susceptibility curves. Experimental results are qualitatively discusssed in the framework of the critical state model. Intergranular critical current density was found to decrease with increased amount of Ag_2O addition (0, 15, 30 wt %). The volume fractions of the grains were estimated as a function of both Ag2O amount and field amplitudes. The expression for the critical current density given by J_(cm)=α_0/B_0[1-(T/T_(cm))]^p is used in critical state calculations. Where denotes the pinning strength parameter at T=0, n and p represent the field and temperature dependence of the intergranular critical current density, respectively. The field and temperature dependence (Bn and p) of the intergranular critical current density for each sample were determined from the comparison of the experimental and calculated curves. The field exponent n, volume fractions of the grains fg, temperature exponent p, were found to increase with increasing amount of Ag2O addition. Experimental isothermal hysteresis losses as a function of field amplitude are reproduced quite well by calculation using the same fitting parameters as that for X”(T) data.
