The lower and upper critical fields, as well as the specific heat were measured as a function of temperature for good quality DyBa2Cu3O7 high-temperature superconductor in the vicinity of superconducting transition temperature Tc = 91.2 K. The number of superconducting and normal state electronic quantities were determined basing on the Ginzburg-Landau-Abrikosov-Gorkov theory. It is argued that on the basis of this BCS-like theory one can describe the superconducting properties and, in combination with some information on the electronic structure, also the magnetic properties of high-temperature superconductors.
