Influence of nonlocal electrodynamics on the anisotropic vortex pinning in $YN{i}_2{B}_{2}C$

A. V. Silhanek, J. R. Thompson, L. Civale +2

We have studied the pinning force density Fp of YNi_2B_2C superconductors for various field orientations. We observe anisotropies both between the c-axis and the basal plane and wi…
