Abstract

We theoretically study the magnetic relaxation in a thin anisotropic superconducting strip placed in an external magnetic field Ha perpendicular to its plane. Both the critical current density jc and the effective depth of the pinning wells, U0, are assumed to depend on the angle θ between the local direction of the magnetic induction in the strip and the normal to the strip plane. Exact expressions for the magnetic relaxation are found for a simple model describing the anisotropy of layered superconductors. It is shown that the Ha dependence of the magnetic relaxation rate in the anisotropic case qualitatively differs from the appropriate dependence in the isotropic strip.
