Abstract

Anomalous magnetization on several single crystals of Nd_1.85Ce_0.15CuO_4-δ superconductor of different T_c's and transition widths has been studied in the magnetic field parallel to c-axis direction. The characteristic fishtail magnetizations are observed for all samples measured, with the secondary peak field decreasing with decreasing T_c and a corresponding change in the relative peak heights. The critical currents corresponding to the maximum widths in the hysteresis loops increase with decreasing T_c. These results suggest that increased pinning enhances the anomalous magnetization, consistent with a model that the secondary peak is due to a dimensional crossover from 3D to 2D pinning.
