Magnetization curves for low external magnetic fields of field-cooled superconducting YBa2Cu3O7 samples show an increase in the diamagnetic signal when the sample temperature is near the transition to the normal state. The Increase of the diamagnetic signal depends on the external magnetic field (H ≤ 13.5 Oe). The effect is observed when the samples are field-cooled, but not when they are zero-field-cooled, that means that it is related with the behavior of the vortex lattice.
