array of Hall probes. Two distinct features are observed in the local-field hysteresis H l vs H,
which are not present in the integrated magnetization measured by a SQUID:(1) a peak in H
l right after the field reversal that we attribute to the field generated by the current flow in a
platelike superconductor, and (2) a position-dependent suppression of H l near zero
external field which may be linked to H c 1. These local measurements suggest a relevant …
