Critical Temperature (K)
135
Measurement Method: SQUID magnetometer
"The use of a SQUID magnetometer allows measurements at low fields despite the small size of the crystals. The excitation field H was applied either parallel... or perpendicular... to the (a,b)-CuO2 planes. The magnetization was measured parallel to the field... applying a field of (796 A/m = 10 Oe) at low temperature (ZFC procedure)..."
