The temperature dependent magnetization, M(T), of superconducting BaErCuO and BaYCuTiO was measured via the BTi SQUID susceptometer. In the zero field cooling case, M(T) of BaErCuO was found to be similar to that of Pb. But, M(T) of BaYCuTiO was found to decrease rapidly with T and be almost linear in T. However, in the field cooling case the fluxoids were found to be trapped at all T below Tc, and its amount was found to depend on Ts at which the sample starts to be cooled, as observed in Pb. The ergodic limiting points were not observed within the chosen parameters. The irreversibility of magnetization observed in both BaErCuO and BaYCuTiO is attributed to the fluxoids, trapped during the field cooling process.
