Abstract

We report low and high field vibrating sample magnetometry results and resistance measurements on a highly oriented, single-phase sample of Y1Ba2Cu3O7−x. We find no anisotropy for the low-field (1mT) Meissner effect or trapped flux. Ratios for high field (to 1.9 T) and ρabc are ∼ 2 and 3.6 respectively. Both are different from single-crystal results, a difference we attribute to grain boundary effects.
