Direct observation of intrinsic pinning by layered structure in single-crystal YBa2Cu3O7-δ
- 1. Science and Technology Center for Superconductivity and Materials Science Division, Argonne National Laboratory, Argonne, Illinois 60439 (USA)
Description
The intrinsic pinning in twinned and untwinned single-crystal YBa2Cu3O7-δ is observed using a novel crossed-magnetic-field technique for obtaining angular resolutions of Δθ<0.005 degree. The pinning occurs for magnetic-field directions within a critical angle θ*<1 degree of the Cu-O planes. The data are discussed in the context of a lock-in transition of vortices in the a-b plane of the crystal
