Abstract

An experimental study of magnetic flux penetration under crossed magnetic fields in Bi2212:Pb single crystals is performed by the magneto-optic technique. The anisotropy of the flux creep rate induced by the in-plane magnetic field is observed at T<54±2 K. This observation confirms the existence of the three-dimensional flux line structure in Bi2212:Pb at low temperatures. An asymmetry of the flux relaxation with respect to the direction of the in-plane field is found. This effect can be attributed to the influence of the laminar structure on the pinning in Bi2212:Pb single crystals.
