abstract
AC magnetic field dependence of fundamental and third harmonic AC susceptibilities ($\chi_1''$, $\chi_3'$ and $\chi_3''$) were measured for two Nb-Ti multifilamentary wires with different filament diameters to investigate the effect of the reversible motion of fluxoids. The results agree approximately with the prediction of the Campbell model in which the reversible motion of fluxoids is treated. The critical current densities estimated from AC susceptibilities and that from the hysteresis of DC magnetization are compared. The large difference of the critical current density at high magnetic field from two methods seems to be explained by the distribution of the filament size.
