The superconducting state properties of the CuBaCaCuO (Cu-1234) system, with a transition temperature as high as 117.5 K, were investigated. The ac magnetic susceptibility measurements confirmed a very sharp transition to the superconducting state.

It was found that, the magnetic flux Φ enters conventional superconductor in screening regime and leaves in trapping regime in the form of a multistage "stairways", with the structure dependent on the magnetic field strength and magnetic history, with approximately equal successive portions ΔΦ in temporal Φ() dependence, and with the width depending almost linearly on the plate thickness. The steady generation of cascades was observed for the full remagnetization cycle in the field of 2-4 T.

It was found that the tetragonal matrix became unstable and crystal symmetry lowered for the samples hydrogenated already at 200 °C.
