Decrease of bulk pinning strength in deoxygenated YBCO single crystals

We measured the first and third harmonics of the complex ac susceptibility in YBCO single crystals with different oxygen contents (6.5 ≤ × ≤ 7). The amplitude of the ac field was varied in presence of an external dc field both applied parallel to the c-axis of the crystals. We give evidence that deo...
