摘要
Magnetization measurements performed on a Nb thin film have revealed the existence of a "second magnetization peak" (SMP) well below the upper critical field boundary H-c2(T). The results of this work provide clear evidence that the SMP originates from a thermomagnetic flux-jump instability. The similarity of the magnetization loops measured in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 high-T-c superconducting crystals to those in Nb, as well as their dependence on the crystal size and field step indicate that a common mechanism is responsible for the SMP in these superconductors.
