Abstract
New magnetization results (for H parallel-to c) on a single crystal of Bi2212 elucidating the transition from a one-component to a two-compo nent response across the 3D-to-2D transformation are reported. The two -component response is identified to emanate from the 2D planes and in terplanar links. The magnetization response above the transformation t emperature T(s) and very close to T(c) is found to be irreversible in contrast to the reversible behavior So far believed in. A new phase di agram for the mixed state of layered superconductors near T(c) is prop osed.
