Abstract
We have investigated the anisotropy of the critical current density in high temperature superconductors YBa2Cu3O $_{7\hbox{-}\delta}$ single crystal. Vibrating sample magnetometer (V.S.M.) method was used for these measurements. The applied magnetic field dependence of critical current density for two directions, parallel and perpendicular to the crystallographic c-axis, at various temperatures, are derived from the measured magnetization hysteresis cycles curves using the Bean model. The critical current density for these two orientations are very different, the pinning mechanism can explain this anisotropy.
