Abstract
The magnetic moments parallel and perpendicular to thec-axis (measured simultaneously) have been studied as a function of direction of applied magnetic fieldH in twinned and de-twinned YBa2Cu3O7−δ single crystals. They show pronounced anomalies when the field direction approaches thec-axis. These allow clear identification of the angle ϕL at which vortices are locked into twin planes. Complete shielding of theHab field component (transverse Meissner effect) was observed in the locked state. For larger angles, up to ϕT, the vortices continue to be non-collinear with the applied field, but their direction deviates from the trapping plane. ϕL exhibits a 1/H field-dependence, whereas ϕT shows only weak logarithmic variations withH.
