I need some further information before I can try to answer this question.
Is this the magnetic induction B as a function of applied magnetic field H or did you subtract the applied magnetic field already to obtain the magnetization.
Do you mean by Hc the coercivity? See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coercivity for an explanation.
I want to thank you sir for your answer, this curve show the M (H) in the superconductor compound ( diamagnetic ). Hc is the thermodynamic magnetic field.
My response consisted of 2 questions, it was not an answer. I repeat with 2 questions.
How did you obtain the above curve as a magnetometer can only measure the magnetic induction and not the magnetization itself. Your instrument may do tricks to the data that I need to know first.
The second question is also not answered. Can you give me a reference where the term "thermodynamic magnetic field" is introduced. I am not familiar to this concept.
1. You seem to imply that you have no clue how the instrument does it. I do urge you to figure out, there may be important assumptions in the procedure that affect the way you analyze the data.
2. Thanks for the article. The "thermodynamic magnetic field" is just what I would call the local field, i.e. the field the spins "feel", so corrected for demagnetization effects. If I understand the article well, the procedure to determine Hc1 is classical, there are many descriptions on the web.
But, and this is why I stress point 1, the accuracy of the measurement of the low field magnetization will determine the quality of the result. Funny low field values as in your graph may just screw up the analysis you are after.
