Plasticity and memory effects in the vortex solid phase of twinned YBa2Cu3O7 single crystals

We report on marked memory effects in the vortex system of twinned YBa2Cu3O7 single crystals observed in ac susceptibility measurements. We show that the vortex system can be trapped in different metastable states with variable degree of order arising in response to different system histories. The p...
