Abstract
The first penetration field sHpd has been deduced from local magnetization and specific heat measurements in magnesium diboride single crystals. For Ha ic, the geometrical barriers (GB) play a dominant role in the irreversibility mechanism. In thin samples, neglecting the GB in this direction would then lead to a large overestimation of Hc1 deduced from Hp through the standard elliptical formula. The lower critical field is found to be isotropic at low temperature (0.11±0.01 T).
