We propose a mechanism that may account for the temperature-insensitive relaxation of the magnetic-shielding current in epitaxial thin films of YBa2Cu3O7-delta. We show that such relaxation is related to the shape of the current-voltage (J-E) characteristic of the superconductor in its critical state. The weak temperature dependence of the relaxation implies a temperature-insensitive J-E characteristic that resembles that of conventional type-II superconductors when a spatial variation of critical current density (J(c)) is present. We suggest such a distribution of J(c) as an explanation for the apparently large and temperature-insensitive relaxation observed in YBa2Cu3O7-delta.
