We report on measurements of the evolution of the magnetization M , upon warming from T 0 (77 K) to T c , for Bi:2223/Ag tape prepared by the continuous filling and forming (CTFF) with the locus of M initially situated along bridges between the envelopes of the major hysteresis curves. Concentric, oppositely directed magnetic moments coexist in the specimens when M lies along the bridges. We focused on the cases where M = 0, hence before warming, the constituent moments cancel each other exactly. Since they diminish in magnitude at different rates as T is increased to T c , their sequential "release" leads to a rich variety of phenomena. A comparison of experimental and theoretical results shows that our simple model semiquantitatively reproduces the major features of the observations on the specimen of Bi:2223/Ag tape.
