Description

The transverse component of the magnetization of a YBa2Cu3O7-δ single crystal (Tc ∼ 91K) has been investigated by slowly rotating the sample in a magnetic field. Close to Tc (Tc-T = 0.5K), a linear decrease with applied field in the maximum of this transverse magnetization was observed, according to the 3-Dimensional Anisotropic Ginzburg Landau mean field theory. In spite of this high temperature, our measurements show some irreversibility effects particularly when the field is oriented close to the (a,b) planes direction. (orig.)
