Abstract
The magnetic anisotropies of and single crystals have been investigated by simultaneously measuring the longitudinal () and transverse () components of the equilibrium magnetization of crystals oriented at arbitrary angles with respect to the applied field direction. The variations of and as a function of orientation, field, and temperature have been measured. In the regime where the simple three-dimensional anisotropic London theory is valid, it is shown that the measurement of / with an applied field in the range ≪H≪ yields the anisotropic mass ratio (/) directly. The possible breakdown of the simple theory is discussed.
