Summary

An account is given of some of the factors which may determine critical currents in high-critical temperature superconductors. It is suggested that the depairing current or reversible magnetization may be a good guide to the relative merits of different materials. This is supported by measurements on cobalt-doped YBCO. The existence of a reversibility line is an obstacle to practical applications. It seems to be caused by unusually rapid flux creep and may be inherent in all layered materials.
