Abstract: | Angular dependences of the magnetization hysteresis loops have been studied at T=77 K on YBCO single crystals exhibiting the peak effect. The peak effect is shown to be related to the pinning of longitudinal
vortices along the c axis at twin boundary-type ordered defects. The behavior of the peak effect at intermediate angles is explained by anisotropic
magnetic field penetration into quasi-two-dimensional superconductors. In thin crystals with a dilute ordered-defect structure
this can result in an enhanced peak effect due to formation of a vortex kink structure and to “internal” pinning of transverse
vortex segments at Cu-O sheets.
