Abstract
Vibrating reed measurements of the flexural resonances of thin cantilevered Nb foils and NbSe2 single crystals reveal extended regions of temperature T and magnetic field H for reversible flux line (FL) motion. The peak temperature ('irreversibility line') of the reciprocal quality factor 1/Q is found to be independent of frequency for 5*102<f<5*104 Hz, implying that the time scale of FL pinning is extremely T- and H-dependent. Extended regions of magnetic reversibility are therefore not restricted to high-Tc or extremely anisotropic materials, and depend upon sample orientation with respect to the applied field.
