Measurement Method: SQUID magnetometer
"The magnetic hysteresis measurements were done on the... SQUID magnetometer. An oriented sintered cylindrical piece of the sample with 2 mm diameter was used to carry out the hysteresis measurements. The cylindrical sample was mounted with its axis (and crystallographic c-axis) parallel to the field....The field was calibrated at low values using a tin sphere standard... The critical current was calculated from the magnetization data using Bean's model."
