Abstract

Results from dc-magnetization M(T) measurements on YBa2Cu3O7 single crystals (with the magnetic field H parallel to the c axis) near the irreversibility boundary in the H-T plane suggest a temperature dependence of the irreversibility boundary H*(T)≊H0*(1-T/Tc)3/2. It is shown that the measurement of M(T,H) at temperatures T below the irreversibility temperature T*(H) is seriously affected by a spatial inhomogeneity of the applied field H, if the sample has to be moved through a detection-coil system. An alternative procedure for the H*(T) detection by dc magnetometry without moving the sample is suggested.
