x F x x F x with x=0.0 and x=0.2, are crystallized in a single phase tetragonal structure with space group P4/nmm. The resistivity measurement shows superconductivity for the x=0.20 sample with T c (onset) ?1.7?K. The upper critical field, [H c2(0)] is estimated ?770?kOe by Ginzburg–Landau (GL) theory. Broadening of superconducting transition in magnetotransport is studied through thermally activated flux flow in an applied field up to 130?kOe. The flux flow activation energy (U/k B ) is estimated ?215?K for 1?kOe field. Magnetic measurements exhibited bulk superconductivity with lower critical field (H c1) of ?.2?kOe at 2?K. In the normal state, the paramagnetic nature of compound confirms no trace of magnetic impurity, which orders ferromagnetically. AC susceptibility measurements have been carried out for SmFeAsO0.80F0.20 sample at various amplitude and frequencies of applied AC drive field. The intergranular critical current density (J c ) is estimated. Specific heat [C p (T)] measurement showed an anomaly at around 140?K due to the SDW ordering of Fe, followed by another peak at 5?K corresponding to the antiferromagnetic (AFM) ordering of Sm+3 ions in the SmFeAsO compound. Interestingly, the change in entropy (marked by the C p transition height) at 5?K for Sm+3 AFM ordering is heavily reduced in the case of the superconducting SmFeAsO0.80F0.20 sample." />
