We analyse and compare properties of different models proposed so far for modelling the shapes of FB and JB . curves measured in RE-Ba Cu O RE-123, REs rare earth samples. The formulas following from the discussed 23 7 yd models allow for a direct fit of experimental data in various representations. The models divide in two categories, according to the pinning potential used, namely the power-law and the logarithmic potential. We show that none of the pinning regimes . proposed for low-T superconductors accounts for the fishtail effect FE observed in high- T materials. The conventional c c expressions allow a good fit of high-T experimental data, however, the resulting fitting parameters are much higher than c those predicted by the theory. The logarithmic pinning potential justified in high- T materials by both magnetic and transport c
