Abstract

The time-dependent magnetization of single crystal samples of the high temperature superconductor YBa2Cu3O7 has been studied as a function of temperature and magnetic field. Long relaxation times have been found to persist up to the transition temperature, implying that the transition temperature is the upper bound on glass-like behavior.
