We have obtained the induced critical current density, J(c) proportional to DeltaM, with DeltaM taken from hysteretic magnetization loops measured for temperatures between 5 and 35 K, in a sample of aligned MgB2 crystallites. We found an almost temperature independent ratio J(c)(ab)/J(c)(c) similar to 1.5, between the critical current density parallel and perpendicular to the ab planes. This latter result follows closely the expected dependence of J(c)(ab)/J(c)(c) approximate to xi(ab)/xi(c) similar to 1.7, where xi(ab) and xi(c) are the corresponding coherence length values. Uncertainties related to the evaluation of geometric factors and subtraction of a magnetic background are also discussed. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
