Abstract
Using a SQUID magnetometer, we have studied the magnetization of different samples of high Tc sintered superconductors in field cooled (FC) conditions. Depending on the sample, very different trends in the variation of the saturation value of the FC magnetization with the field have been observed ; in particular for good samples it increases progressively with decreasing H. We ascribe the difference in behaviour to different strengths of coupling between grains, depending on the preparation conditions. Data obtained by complementary techniques support this explanation.
