Abstract

We report ultra-low-field (5 mOe - 1 Oe) magnetic measurements on a ceramic sample of YBaCuO. A positive remanent moment is observed which accurately equals the difference of the field-cooled and zero-field-cooled moments throughout the temperature range. At higher fields this relationship breaks down. A reversible region is observed near the superconducting transition temperature which is independent of field. These results are discussed in the context of recent models.
