Description

Magnetic anisotropy of superconducting Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ single crystals was investigated by torque measurements at 77 K. A hysteresis loop with a sharp cusp was found for magnetic fields below about 6 kOe applied in a direction close to the ab-plane. It can be satisfactorily explained by assuming that the component of the diamagnetic moment perpendicular to the ab-plane is induced by the applied external field. (orig.)
