Ginzburg-Landau Parameter for YBCO

[Muon Cat]

Can anyone provide a good reference which gives the G-L parameter for YBCO (a) along the ab-plane of the sample and (b) along the c-axis?

I've been to the depths of Google Scholar and back and found nothing, so any help would be much appreciated. :)

Typically YBCO is highly anisotropic parallel and perpendicular to the planes in terms of the G-L (coherence length / penetration ratio).
For the details derived from magnetization curves see page 789 here ; entire last paragraph:
