Abstract
Transport measurements using the dc flux transformer configuration tog ether with c-axis resistance data in clean and twinned YBa2Cu3O7-delta single crystals show that vortices are localized by the twin-boundary potential. The results support the existence of a divergent tilt modu lus [D. R. Nelson and V. M. Vinokur, Phys. Rev. B 48, 13 060 (1993)] i n a liquid that freezes into a Bose glass.
