Description

We present measurements of harmonic generation in the magnetization of a sintered YBa2Cu3O7 pellet subject to HDC + HAC x cos ωt. The magnitude of the harmonics depend strongly on whether the pellet was cooled to 77K in HDC, or whether HDC was applied after zero-field-cooling. In the latter case, we also observe a large hysteresis between the HDC increasing and HDC decreasing cases. The results are explained qualitatively. (orig.)
