Tóm tắt

Measurements of the magnetization hysteresis of the same crystal in the twinned and untwinned state reveal that pinning due to twinning planes may contribute a substantial, anisotropic fraction of the observed critical currents. A linear scaling between magnetization hysteresis and sample dimension shows that the twinned and untwinned crystal does not exhibit any subgranular effects.
