Abstract
Magnetization measurements on single crystals of show strong anisotropic flux pinning with critical magnetization current densities of 1.4× A/. The critical magnetization currents fall sharply with temperature in both single-crystal and polycrystalline samples. The high critical magnetization current densities can be reduced by nearly two orders of magnitude by annealing.
