Pinning of flux line lattice has been studied in hydrogenated amorphou
s superconducting Re94Cr6 alloys at different hydrogen contents. Resis
tivity measurements in magnetic field were made. A change of pinning m
echanism was observed from single to collective pinning, depending on
the hydrogen content. A sharp peak of the volume pinning force was obs
erved in the vicinity of the critical magnetic held, and explained as
a result of the abrupt change in the state of the vortex lattice close
to the defects. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science S.A.
