Harmonics of the AC susceptibility as probes to differentiate the various creep models M.G. Adesso*, C. Senatore, M. Polichetti, S. Pace Dipartimento di Fisica, Universita’ degli Studi di Salerno-INFM Via S. Allende, 84081, Baronissi (SALERNO) – ITALY Abstract We measured the temperature dependence of the 1st and the 3rd harmonics of the AC magnetic susceptibility on some type II superconducting samples at different AC field amplitudes, hAC. In order to interpret the measurements, we computed the harmonics of the AC susceptibility as function of the temperature T, by integrating t
