Abstract Polycrystalline samples with superconducting transition temperatures higher than 130 K have been synthesized in the system Tl1−x Hg x Ba2Ca2Cu3O8+δ withx=0.0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, and 0.9. The magnetization data of these samples as a function of applied magnetic field up to 5.5 T are measured in a SQUID magnetometer over a wide temperature range. These hysteresis curves are analyzed with the Bean critical-state model to estimate the intragrain critical current density,J c . The results show that the values ofJ c are comparable to the values of YBCO and the early reported pure Hg-1223 sample. The maximum value ofJ c occurs in the (Tl0.7Hg0.3)-1223 sample with 5.9×106 A/cm2 at 10 K and 1.1×104 A/cm2 at 77 K in 1 T. Also, an exponential decay ofJ c with temperature has been found in these Tl1−x Hg x7-1223 compounds, indicating the presence of weak links.
