We report on marked thermomagnetic history effects in the ac susceptibility of YBa2Cu3O7 single crystals below the melting transition. We found that as the ac field front invades the sample it induces a. local annealing of the vortex lattice reducing the critical current density, Jc. As a consequence, different parts of the sample can be in different pinning regimes. The order-disorder spatial profile is stable and leads to memory effects both in temperature and ac field. © 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
