Abstract

The magnetization M and heat capacity of clean, single crystal YNi2B2C superconductor have been studied with magnetic field H∥c-axis. The magnetization M(H) deviates from conventional predictions, but is accurately described by recent non-local London theory, with well-behaved parameters. We show that the Ginzburg-Landau parameters κ1 and κ2 increase considerably as T decreases, similar to niobium, but with κ(Tc) ≈ 7.
