摘要
Using a forced torsion pendulum we have investigated the frequency, amplitude and orientation dependence of the vortex response in untwinned single crystals of YBa2Cu3O7-delta. A new thermally activated dissipation peak which appears at high amplitude, accompanied by a crossover in the pinning, has been observed in addition to the one associated to the controversial vortex melting. The shape and mass anisotropy effects have been investigated.
