La. Dorosinskii et al., STUDIES OF TWIN BOUNDARY PINNING IN YBCO SINGLE-CRYSTALS USING HIGH-RESOLUTION MAGNETOOPTIC TECHNIQUE, Physica. C, Superconductivity, 235, 1994, pp. 2727-2728
The influence of twin boundaries on magnetic flux penetration and trap
ping was studied using direct magnetooptic observations of magnetic fl
ux patterns in inhomogeneously twinned YBCO crystals. The contribution
of twin boundaries to the critical current and the twin boundary pinn
ing energy have been determined.
