Abstract

In this paper we present time-dependent magnetization and high-temperature, low-field critical-current measurements on single crystalline Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8. A short introduction to thermally activated flux-flow theory (TAFF) is given based on solving a continuity equation for fluxlines with several boundary conditions. A comparison between this theory and our experiments indicates the self consistency of the TAFF model, by relating the temperature dependences of Jc and of the typical relaxation time τ0 of M(t). Furthermore, values for the pinning potential U are obtained at several temperatures.
