Abstract
We report on local magnetization measurements showing the presence of an unexpectedly strong transverse Meissner effect in the superconducting CuxTiSe2 single crystals. We show that for tilted magnetic fields (H-a) vortices remain aligned with the ab planes up to field H-k similar to H-p/sin theta(H) (where theta(H) is the angle between the applied field and the ab plane and H-p the first penetration field) and that for H-a > H-k, the field dependence of the vortex direction theta(B)(H-a) can be well described assuming that vortices remain partially locked in the planes forming a staircase structure of average direction theta(B) not equal theta(H). These results indicate the existence of a strong modulation of the vortex core energy along the c axis but its origin remains unclear.
