摘要
Using a microwave (13 GHz) technique which is sensitive to field-induced changes in the surface resistance, we have observed twin-boundary pinning in zone-melt-textured crystals of YBa2Cu3O7-delta. With the rotation of a static 1.9-T field applied in the a-b plane, the surface resistance R(s) exhibits minima at 90-degrees intervals. The twin-boundary minima are shown to be connected to the orientation of the crystalline axes of the sample. The resistance minima are observed superimposed on a flux-flow response over the temperature range of T(c) to the lowest temperature attempted. Substantial flux mobility is observed to the lowest temperatures. The angular dependence of the flux-flow response at low temperatures is consistent with the "brick" model for local intergranular conductivity, which provides for an in-plane isotropic component.
