(Y1-xLax)–Ba–Cu–O and (Y1-xPrx)–Ba–Cu–O bulks were fabricated by the melt-textured growth, in which x was varied from 0 to 0.01. The critical current density Jc at 77 K is improved in magnetic fields parallel to the c-axis above 2–4.5 T and the corresponding irreversibility field, Hirr, shifts to the higher value in both bulks.}, pages = {1218--1220}, title = {Vortex pinning properties of (Y1-xLax)-Ba-Cu-O and (Y1-xPrx)-Ba-Cu-O superconducting bulks}, volume = {469}, year = {2009} }
