The superconductive ordering of a YBa 2 Cu 4 O 8 ceramic with a single phase and of homogeneous sub-micron size grains, is studied by systematic DC magnetic measurements under weak magnetic fields. Successive phase transitions of a hierarchical nature are identified to occur at two temperatures T C1 (≃ 80 K) and T C2 (≃ 37 K). The transition at T C1 is that from the normal into the intra-grain superconductive state. The transition at T C2 is that into the inter-grain superconductive state and results in an infinite superconductive network over the whole sample. Taking a possible Josephson junction type coupling into account, the second transition at T C2 is speculated to be a long range ordering among the superconductive grains and similar to that for a three-dimensional XY ferromagnet.
