Abstract

Magnetic measurements on heavily overdoped La2xSrxCuO4La_{2-x}Sr_xCuO_4, Tl2Ba2CuO6Tl_2Ba_2CuO_6, Bi2Sr2CuO6Bi_2Sr_2CuO_6 and Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8Bi_2Sr_2CaCu_2O_8 single crystals reveal a new type magnetization hysteresis loops characterized by the vanishing of usual central peak near zero field. Since this effect has been observed in various systems with very different structural details, it reflects probably a generic behavior for all high temperature superconductors. This easy penetration of magnetic flux can be understood in the picture of percolative superconductivity due to the inhomogeneous electronic state in heavily overdoped regime.
