Abstract

Torque magnetometry has been used to investigate anisotropy in the superconducting state of YNi2B2C. The data indicate that the superconducting effective mass in this material is remarkably isotropic. On the basis of this result, it is argued that the homologous compound HoNi2B2C provides an example of a material in which superconducting anisotropy results from layers of localized spins.
